Finger Lakes Region, NY

The Finger Lakes Region of New York is one of the most stunning and studied natural settings in the world. Kevin Stearns photographs will, page after page, bring you deeper and deeper into the Finger Lakes country as you walk the paths through the lush forests and hike the winding trails along the rims of deep gorges, and feel the spray of waterfalls as tall as 20 story buildings. They will show you the personalities of the small cities and quaint villages that populate the region. You'll visit the world-class wineries that cover the lakeside hills. His photographs also honor an area rich in human history, as well. It is the birthplace of the women's rights movement, the place where geology in 19th century America was studied and defined. It is where professional auto racing came into its own and where glass making became an art form. It is a place where a small school became a top Ivy League university, and people commune with nature every day because it is right at their fingertips.
