Extreme Autumn: Fall in Colorado is an energetic rendition of what is otherwise a serene season. Forget gentle ponds with floating leaves. Toss the countryside red barn and maple tree out the door. And don't even think about that orange maple tree gracing a burial preplanning pamphlet. This is autumn Colorado Rockies style: high altitude, extreme, dangerous, and thought-provoking.Focusing on areas above 8,000 feet, the book delivers autumn from a plethora of angles: steep mountainsides, high-altitude lake shores, under full moon, river beds, in the snow, and best of all: from above with an airplane. There is nothing ordinary about fall here - it is filled with contrast at every turn - gentle and harsh, warm and cold, summery and in the snow. Some aspen stands nurse forest wildlife, other trees are a stubborn symbol of defiance growing on top of a rock glacier.Containing over 80 images, the book is an excellent way to enjoy all that autumn in Colorado has to offer without risking your life.

Ever since poring over photo books of national parks as a child, the author had a devotion to Yellowstone that one day was fulfilled for the first time when he flew over the park in his antique airplane. On a trip literally crossing most of the United States at a snail's pace, the scene left its mark, and the next year, he was living an hour south of the park, next to an airport, where frequent trips were made to Yellowstone and surrounding areas. The companion to "Yellowstone's Hot Springs: An Aviator's Perspective," the book contains 123 aerial photographs of mountains, rivers, hot springs, geysers, lakes, and scenic landscapes, accumulated over flights in multiple seasons, showing what the rest of Yellowstone looks like from the air.

When Mr. Fisher first visited the Colorado Rockies in 2005, it was a verdant land of lush mountain forests. By the time he got around to moving there in 2013, sections of the place had turned into a veritable wasteland, with much of the forests having been obliterated by, of all things, a tiny beetle. Surprised but undeterred, an adventure began in an antique airplane that would later involve living near Yellowstone in Wyoming, wandering a good portion of the Intermountain West at mind-numbingly slow speeds and relatively low to the ground, camera in one hand, and aircraft controls in the other. While chasing down a long list of Western scenery, a collection of expansive photographs accumulated of Rocky Mountain forests from the Canadian border to Southern Colorado. Scenery varied from forests in complete health, total devastation, and everything in between, with the entire experience as majestic as one might expect. Containing 155 aerial images, Winds of Change is an exhibition of natural Western scenery that includes national parks, mountain ranges, wilderness areas, and national forests and is an education on the nature of our treasured public lands in the West, in both their distress and vibrant health.

Caught between the parties of a German love triangle, the author found himself looking for a new place to live in Germany, and decided to live life on the edge and move to Spain....without researching much of anything first. Dragging his Piper Cub with him, he flew across France into the Spanish Pyrenees, landing for the first time in an idyllically beautiful place called La Cerdanya, and then commenced bothering to figure out what the place was like. Garrett Fisher's 14th book, 'The First 100 Days' is a pictorial story showing aerial photographs from the first one hundred flights taken over France, Andorra, and Spain, showing incredible beauty of from the Pyrenees, Mediterranean, South of France, Spanish deserts, and a host of destinations in between.

On a happenstance flight across Western North Carolina many years ago, Garrett Fisher decided to do something unusual and point his camera straight down on some eye-catching agricultural patterns. What resulted was a virtual tapestry from the air and began a multiple year odyssey of photographing patterns and textures found in fields across America. Piloting an extremely simple aircraft that itself was a crop duster in the 1940s and 1950s, the author took a Piper Cub on a wild journey from the Atlantic Coast to the Appalachians, Great Plains, and ranchlands of the Mountain West. Containing 138 images taken from twelve states spread over three time zones, 'Field of Dreams' is a journey in the visually unexpected.

Driven by a love of glaciers and a need to see them before they disappear, Garrett Fisher piloted his 1949 antique airplane across the mountains of Colorado, Wyoming, and Montana, photographing remaining glaciers in the American Rockies. From Rocky Mountain National Park to the Wind River Range, Grand Teton National Park, Yellowstone, and Glacier National Park, the Rockies contain a surprising number of glaciers tucked away in wilderness areas...that is, until they are gone. Scientists predict that many of these treasures will disappear not only in our lifetimes, but in the near future.A feat of aviation, Mr. Fisher gets up close and personal with glaciers glued to the sides of rocky summits, flying as high as 15,000 feet while getting buffeted by strong winds and extreme cold, all the while hoping the propeller would keep spinning, as many of these mountain ranges were in wilderness bear country. His airplane lacks heat, weighs less than 800 pounds, and produces 100 horsepower on a good day.Containing 177 aerial images, the book is organized by mountain range, with detailed maps identifying the location of each photograph. With images ranging from scenic landscapes to detailed zooms of glacial texture, the work appeals to hikers, scientists, or anyone who loves the great outdoors.
