Finding Moments of Calm with Photography Books

Lately, I’ve been finding moments of calm by perusing the library’s many photography books. Flipping through pages of art and photos can bring a much needed pause from all of the screens around us. In honor of National Photography Month, here are some photography books that I’ve enjoyed:

This book features over 100 photos of beautiful hiking photos around the planet, highlighting the beauty of the world and the many places to explore.
