Few people would disagree that Canada's Rocky Mountains are breathtaking in any season.
That said, photographer/writer Frank King wanted to concentrate on what he considers the most spectacular time of year: winter, when snow bathes grey rock in a white mantle that's especially glorious under a deep blue sky.
From thousands of images, Frank has selected more than 50 of his favourites to show off one of North America's most incredible and memorable regions - an area that attracts tourists from around the world.
Frank's other Blurb books are:
• Moments of Light: Thirty Years of Photography
• The Alberta Badlands: A Landscape Portrait
• Ireland: Visions of Light
• Special Places: A Landscape Photographer's Vision of Southern Ontario.
• 'Til the SOUL felt its WORTH: Glimpses of Faith, Love and Eternity
• The GENDER DIVIDE Runs Through My DISHWASHER and other Stories of Life, Faith and Mystery

I really wanted to preview this book too. There's no denying that the Rocky Mountains are sublime in winter and your mountain images capture that. But also many of your intimate landscapes are equally stunning.
