Description
A lavishly illustrated tour of America's most compellingly beautiful places.
The America the Beautiful series takes readers on a photographic tour of the country's most beautiful states and most vibrant cities. Top photographers contribute their best images -- from dazzling cityscapes to quiet forests -- of both well-known destinations and hidden gems. Clear and informative captions bring each scene to life. These handsomely designed books show the beauty of each destination, to be enjoyed by visitors and locals alike.
California is the most populous state and includes four of the top 15 locations in Forbes magazine's list of most-visited cities. It has something for everyone, and this book offers up a splendid sampling:
- Majestic redwood groves and miles of sandy beaches
- The many charms of wine country
- Spectacular Yosemite and rugged Big Sur
- The magic of Disneyland
- Hollywood's glitz and glamour
- The landmark cities of San Francisco, Los Angeles and San Diego
- And much more.
California showcases the sunny state in truly stunning fashion.
