Visit some of the most breathe-taking, natural areas in Pennsylvania through Michael Gadomski's photography. During the narrated, multimedia program, Gadomski shares over 400 images not including in his first coffee table book, Wild Pennsylvania.
"Simply stunning! Words that aptly describe Wild Pennsylvania: A Celebration of Our State's Natural Beauty, text by Richard D. Whiteford; photography by Michael P. Gadomski; and foreword by Gov. Edward F. Rendell.
When professional photographer and former park ranger Michael Gadomski, of Sterling, teamed up with writer and environmental consultant Richard Whiteford, of Downingtown, magic was made. They have created a fantastic book that features some of the most incredible photographs of the nature that surrounds us within this state, while at the same time giving you an overview of each of the region's natural history."
