Description
This book presents gorgeous photography from longtime Nantucket resident - now in PB. The book has inspired a line of paint based on the beautiful, natural colours. A tiny island haven thirty miles off the coast of Massachusetts, Nantucket is one of America's few remaining hidden treasures. There is something unique about the openness of its moors and beaches, the simplicity of its rustic houses, and the clarity of the air and light that many make it a lifelong goal to return each year. As one resident says, "I've never seen a place that inspires such devotion." Yet relatively few have the means or the endurance to live there year-round. Those who do are bonded by a strong sense of community and rewarded by the ever-wondrous shift of the seasons onthe island. From the cheerful, red cranberry bogs in the fall and the quiet desolation of winter to the profusion of daffodils in the spring and the warm sunny beaches in summer, Nantucket is constantly alive with change.
