New Jersey, the natural state

the long version

"From the Kittatinny Mountains in the north to the beaches of Cape May in the south, New Jersey overflows with natural beauty, and Hiscano captures it all with unparalleled artistry in this magnificent collection of more than one hundred photos taken over the past decade.". "In the spirit of Ansel Adams, who showed the world the previously overlooked magnificence of the West, Hiscano allows us to view New Jersey as never before, showing us its many splendors and varied seasons. His photographs are organized geographically - The Ridge and Valley, Highlands, Piedmont, Pine Barrens, and Shore. We view the state from its mountaintops and sand dunes. We see mighty oak trees and fragile roses. Waterfalls and beaver ponds. Snow-covered cedars and sun-drenched black-eyed Susans. Hiscano's portrayal of New Jersey in its natural state also focuses our attention on the state's rapidly diminishing wildlands, and points out the need to continue to preserve the landscape for future generations."--BOOK JACKET.
