About the Book
Photographer and pilot Stephen S. Ashley set off on a great adventure. He flew from Oakland, California, to Moab, Utah, and back in an 800-pound “light sport” airplane. His route took him over the 10,000-foot Tioga Pass in Yosemite and across the Great Basin and the Colorado Plateau at an altitude of 1,000 above the ground.
An experienced pilot and flight instructor, Ashley had had many opportunities to look outside airplanes at the vistas below and had seen the landscapes of California from the sky. He thought he had seen it all. Then he flew to Moab. His previous flying experience had not prepared him for the amazing and beautiful formations he saw in the mountains and deserts he traversed. It was like flying across the surface of a different planet.
Through the 54 black and white prints included in this volume you will relive this journey.
