Light Through the Trees

“Within its more than 100 pages, Vagt takes readers through the seasons within the 1,700 acre public garden with pictures of vivid color, and tranquil scenes of nature that look as if you’re peering at something fairytale-like. ” –Chicago Tribune “Wonderful and interesting. This book challenges the stereotype of the Midwest as flyover country. The photographs are strong but what makes them unique is their association with the specific place.”–Justin Hamm, author of Midwestern “The photographs are both technically and compositionally great and give a beautiful overview of what you’ll find at the Arboretum. A coffee table book for anyone visiting The Morton Arboretum or anyone who loves nature.”–Tytia Habing, national photographer

Peter Vagt is a photographer and retired geologist living in Nashville, Tennessee. He began to visit The Morton Arboretum while in college. He has sold prints of his work at the Arboretum since 1999.
