Klappentext zu 100 Views of the Hamptons
Forget what you've heard. The Hamptons are NOT a state of mind. The two townships at the eastern end of Long Island, New York - with their villages and hamlets - comprise a decidely physical place of dunes and fields, wetlands and shorelines, ocean, bays and inlets. The air is fine and clean; the light is magnificent. The estates and McMansions, the pricey boutiques, condo's and the clubs - ubiquitous as they have become - are beside the point. The beauty of hte place was here first, and (more remarkably) it endures. This book of 100 highly evocative digital images, like the Japanese ukiyo-e woodcut albums that inspired its title, offers landscapes, seascapes, bayscapes, and even townscapes of a floating world of natural pleasures.
