March 20 – August 2, 2009
Leprino Family Atrium - Denver Natural History Museum
The science of geology chronicles Earth’s ongoing evolution. As every geologist knows, landscapes can be both beautiful and baffling. A view from the sky offers a broader perspective—canyons beyond granite peaks seamlessly stitched into wider valleys, oxbows left behind as rivers change course, and land sculpted by glaciers. A sense of time is the geologist's best hand lens, the open window of a small airplane his ideal perch.
Michael Collier has been photographing from the air since 1975. He has written and photographed books about various national parks, climate change, Alaskan glaciers, the downstream effects of dams, and the San Andreas Fault. Stones From The Sky is Michael Collier’s collection of prints that highlight American geologic landscapes. This special exhibition will be free with Museum admission and will be located in the Museum's Leprino Family Atrium.
