Synopsis
PLATEAU LIGHT focuses on the heart and soul of America's Redrock Country, expressing the beauty and wilderness of areas ranging from the Grand Canyon to Paria. Zion, Bryce, Canyonlands, Arches, the San Rafael Swell, Dirty Devil River, Capitol Reef and the Henry Mountains all captured David Muench's attention. His images also include vistas of the Vermillion Cliffs Wilderness and the Grand Staircase/Escalante National Monument. These landscapes one inspired the Anasazi, Fremont and Archaic peoples and serve as the perfect background for the petroglyphs and ruins they left behind. For the first time in softbound edition, these spectacular photos will inspire, delight and amaze, both readers and photographers alike.

Photographer Muench captures the breathtaking landscapes of the Colorado Plateau. The 116 stunning color photographs are accompanied by excerpts from his photojournal that tell of his personal responses to his subjects and the photographic techniques he used to capture the phenomenal light and reveal the red sands, dark crags, translucent skies, and dramatic canyons. An essay by writer James Lawrence takes readers with him as he journeys to rediscover the region and is captivated by its magic, and he interprets the distinctive relationship between Muench and the Southwest vistas that are his subject.
