A Winter Landscape
In A Winter Landscape, Leigh Gordon Giltner takes readers on a journey through the beauty of winter. Through stunning photographs and lyrical prose, Giltner captures the essence of winter in all its glory. From the snow-covered mountains of the Rockies to the frozen lakes of the Midwest, Giltner’s photographs bring to life the beauty of winter. Along with the photographs, Giltner’s words provide a poetic description of the winter landscape.

First lines
A mystic world mantled in white simarre
Arachne-spun with argent woof; her wede
Starred with strange crystals wrought from frozen spar,
Sprent with pearl frost-flowers; girt with diamond brede,
