Places To Visit

So here it is. Another book with travel photographs. It is not one of those travel books that explores one country. But it is one of those travel books that documents a journey. The journey takes you from Denmark and Sweden to Germany and further to the Balkans with a detour via France and Malta. After visiting Bosnia & Herzegovina and Macedonia the route takes you to Cyprus, Moldova, Turkey and then up the Caucasian mountains in Georgia and Armenia. To complete the journey you travel over the Caspian Sea to pay a visit to Kazakhstan as well. But this list of names doesn’t tell you anything about these countries. You don’t learn about the beautiful landscapes with the animals that have found a home there, the great cities with their impressive buildings and monuments and the public places where you can meet other people. To fill these gaps you can consult a photo book. You can get a sense of the things you miss out on lists of countries and travel maps and explore the countries through the eyes of the photographer. This book shows you places to visit, not according to countries, but to places, landscapes and cities, as well as the people and animals who inhabit them.
