About this title

Synopsis:

When the photographers moved to Lexington, Virginia - one of the most picturesque places in America - they were surprised to find there were no "picture books" of the area to send to family and friends. So, they decided right there and then to make one. Seven years and 5000 images later they realized that were giving new meaning to the phrase "get the picture." Award winning photography, stunning scenery, interspersed with quotes that fit the moment, grace the beautifully designed pages. It's true that a photo is worth a 1000 words - why write text? Aside from an introductory essay from America's most famous weatherman, Willard Scott, there are precious few words - confined to notes at the end of the book. Just enough to let the reader know what was special about that shot, the location, or the inspiration. If you've been to Rockbridge - you have to have this book. If you're looking for somewhere wonderful - you have to have this book. If you love photography - you really have to have this book!
