Belonging to the West: Photographs of Colorado (Creating the North American Landscape)

Rating:
Summary: A Different Side of Colorado
Review: Mr. Paddock's Belonging to the West shows us a different side of Colorado. It is the Colorado that all of us who were raised there know and love. It is not another mountain book. Mr. Paddock shows us the sky and the vast plains that comprise half of the state. He has captured the beauty of the semi-desert landscape and the weathered, still occupied buildings in the many small towns on the high mountain plateaus and in the great plains. He shows us the lines of the old unpaved roads and the desert plants as they mix with the sky. He shows us a landscape that does not take your breath away, but a Colorado that has captured the hearts of those of us who have lived there.
