"The Wichita Mountains: An Oklahoma Treasure"

A collection of pictures of landscapes grand and intimate; animals large and small; and close-ups of rocks, flowers and wood, showcasing the richness of the Wichita Mountains National Wildlife Refuge. The Wichita Mountains National Wildlife Refuge is an Oklahoma treasure. A place where bison, elk, prairie dogs, and longhorn cattle coexist in a land that is still wild and free. Its fifty-nine thousand acres are a stunning fabric of untilled prairie, granite mountains, rugged woodlands, and sparkling lakes. Because its location is an ecological crossroads you can find elements of both the East and the West in this beautiful preserve. The Refuge is a land of immense natural beauty and it is filled with a vast array of animal species. It is a multi-dimensional place that cannot be adequately interpreted with a single genre of photographs. Nature photographer Steven Hunter has included a wide variety of images in an attempt to share the vastness and the diversity of the Refuge. You will be filled with wonder, joy, and gratitude as you view the photographs within and as you read the stories behind some of them. This book will reaffirm your commitment to preserving this Oklahoma treasure., ISBN13: 9780983917434 ISBN10: 0983917434 Material Type: paperback
