Book Description
From Our Windows is David Firman's personal story, told through Polaroid pictures, of life contained within four walls. Set during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, the story explores the relationship of sanctuary to the now-viral world outside, separated yet connected through thin sheets of glass.In the late 1970s, photographer André Kertész was living a parallel narrative. Old age and isolation--his wife had recently passed--left him looking through the window of his New York apartment, a story he told through Polaroid pictures and his 1981 book, From My Window.Separated by forty years, Firman draws on Kertész's work in his own search for beauty in the face of loss.

Walking on La Palma
Author: Paddy Dillon
Publisher: Cicerone Press
ISBN: 1783626976
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 241
Book Description
Guide to walking on La Palma. In total 45 day walks are described ranging from 7 to 32km in length, and covering a wide variety of terrain. Although La Palma is one of the smaller Canary Islands, there are routes of all types from easy strolls to hands-on scrambling, from simple day walks to long-distance treks on rocky mountain paths, including the GR130, which circumnavigates the island, and the island-hopping GR131. With full route descriptions, including custom-made maps, refreshment options and transport for each walk, accommodation, useful contacts and a Spanish-English glossary. The book also includes lots of background information on geology, wildlife, plants and flowers. The circular GR130 trail takes about a week to complete and can be started and finished at any point around the island. The GR131 trail is exclusively high level and mountainous, requiring careful planning. The dramatic volcanic landscape of La Palma, reputed to be one of the steepest islands in the world, is little-known outside the Canaries, but offers an ideal winter walking destination for walkers of most abilities, featuring rocky treks and mountain paths.
