Powerful, brutal, beautiful, and at times, enchanting, winter in Yellowstone National Park is a world unlike any other. It is a season both abstract and profound, where super-heated water erupts into arctic air, where wildlife pushes snow in a constant struggle to survive, and where silence and solitude dominate the park’s deep wilderness. Photographer Tom Murphy has experienced Yellowstone’s winter wilderness as few others have, skiing far into the backcountry with heavy camera gear, an uncanny ability to weather cold and snow, and an artist’s eye for the sublime. His photographs reveal a majestic land where the air is clean and clear and where a wolf’s throaty howl carries for miles on a still day.

“Silence & Solitude: Yellowstone’s Winter Wilderness” shows us the splendor and force of Yellowstone’s long cold. In 130 photos we begin to understand the lives of the wildlife that must endure it; we begin to feel the inspiring power of a landscape still wild and pure; and we see nature’s beauty in things great and small. These photos are accompanied by Murphy’s thoughtful words that take us into the time and place of each image. The captions allow us to smile at a fox’s serious hunt for a mouse, to understand why bison stand stoically in geothermal steam, and to marvel at a sudden shift of subtle light that brings breathtaking grandeur to a nondescript little tree and just as suddenly takes it away.

As popular author Tim Cahill observes in his foreword, “These are photos that mirror a man’s passion, and I know of nothing like them anywhere. Murphy’s photographs are not simply stunning or striking: they are also knowledgeable and even wise.”

I bought this book for my wife because she loves the PBS 'Christmas in Yellowstone' we watch it every Christmas night. The writer/photographer of the book is prominently featured in the show and now she cherishes the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply beautiful!

I ordered this beautiful book along with the dvd 'Christmas in Yellowstone' which features footage of the photographer, Tom Murphy. Alone, the book is a stunning and unique look into the strange and beautiful world of Yellowstone in the dead of winter. The photos make you stop and spend time with each image. You can almost feel the biting wind, and hear the howl of the wolf pack. How this man does what he does, under some of the most brutal conditions on earth is beyond me. Outstanding! (If you want more of Tom's beautiful work - and video of him in action, I highly recommend the dvd 'Christmas in Yellowstone.'

5.0 out of 5 stars Nature Photography in Yellowstone
Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2012

This book showcases some of Tom Murphy's wonderfully honest images of Yellowstone National Park in winter (flora and fauna). Highly recommended, especially for nature photographers considering a visit to Yellowstone in winter. Included at the end of the book is a concise technical summary of Tom's approach to photographing Yellowstone in the winter. For a DVD movie of Yellowstone in winter which shows Tom Murphy at work, see "Christmas in Yellowstone (2007)" found on this web site at [...]. Five stars out of five for both the book and the DVD.

When I saw the program on public T.V. I was enthralled by the beauty so I had to order the book & the DVD. The book is beautiful, the photos unbelievable and I cannot wait for the DVD to come so I can sit back in wonder & awe of just how lucky I am to live in a country that has such a beautiful place as Yellowstone. When I look at the scenes I can honestly say there has to be a God, for who else could have made such a place.

I bought this after seeing the program on tv. I have been to Yellowstone several times, including in the winter, and this is the perfect book to keep those unbelievable memories alive. There are lots of places in the world that are 'like nowhere else', but this one is truly in the top ten of all of those. The book captures the beauty, the pristine feel of winter there, and the struggles and beauty of the animals who endure the winters there.

Exceeded my expectations. This is a large coffee table size book. It features stunning pictures of Yellowstone the book is in very good condition and was delivered on time. Anyone who has been lucky enough to go to Yellowstone or someone like me who hasn't been there would appreciate this book. Not only for the pictures but also of the author. I would not hesitate to order from this seller again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Großartige Bilder, tolle Inszenierung einer tollen Landschaft
Reviewed in Germany on April 17, 2012

Die Bilder erzählen davon, was der Titel dir verspricht - Ruhe und Einsamkeit. Es sind einfach grandiose Aufnahmen, die aber leise und voller Rücksicht auf dich wirken. Wenn du dir das Buch anschaust, empfindest du einfach nur Schönheit.
Ich bin durch den Dokumentarfilm über den Fotografen auf dieses Buch aufmerksam geworden. Die Videoaufnahmen über den Yellowstone im Winter waren atemberaubend. Das Buch ist wie ein Gedächtnisprotokoll dazu. Ich erkenne die Landschat und die Tiere wieder und habe so eine Brücke zu der Geschichte, die an diesen Bildern hängt und die ich so nicht wieder vergessen werde.
Für Liebhaber von Stille und Einsamkeit ist dieser Bildband ein wunderschönes Geschenk.
