Few people would disagree that Canada's Rocky Mountains are breathtaking in any season.
That said, photographer/writer Frank King wanted to concentrate on what he considers the most spectacular time of year: winter, when snow bathes grey rock in a white mantle that's especially glorious under a deep blue sky.
From thousands of images, Frank has selected more than 50 of his favourites to show off one of North America's most incredible and memorable regions - an area that attracts tourists from around the world.
Frank's other self-published books include Special Places: A Landscape Photographer's Vision of Southern Ontario, Greenwood: Seasons of Light, The Alberta Badlands: A Landscape Portrait and Ireland: Seasons Of Light.

I really wanted to preview this book too. There's no denying that the Rocky Mountains are sublime in winter and your mountain images capture that. But also many of your intimate landscapes are equally stunning.
