African Trees: a photographic exploration

Photography and text by Charles Bryant & Brita Lomba, 2004

Double Storey, Cape Town. Hardcover, 176 pages, 245x295mm
ISBN: 1-919930-76-0, R295.00 (available from good bookshops in South Africa, or direct from doublestorey.com)

Enchanted with Africa's wild places, the author-photographers of this book underwent a continental journey to find and depict some of the most impressive and interesting trees.

Hosted on their travels by CC Africa's various safari lodges, the book has been arranged into eight sections, each representing a distinct part of Africa. Overall the large-format book is a visual feast, with an uncluttered page design allowing the images to speak for themselves. The text is light and the captions brief, so this is not a book for the botanist, but will certainly have great appeal for anyone who simply has a wonder for trees.
