Photographer presents Blue Ridge vistas guide

Photographer and author Tim Barnwell will present his new book, Blue Ridge Parkway Vistas, at 6:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 25, at City Lights Bookstore in Sylva.

In the book, Barnwell identifies the mountain peaks visible from each overlook, marking the compass heading, distance and elevation. Major roads, rivers, lakes and towns are also identified. Designed as a driving guide, Blue Ridge Parkway Vistas is also a companion for hikers who wish to identify the names of the peaks viewed from favorite trails. 

A noted photographer with more than 30 years of experience, Barnwell’s photography has appeared in numerous publications, including Time and Newsweek. The Asheville resident’s fine art photography can be found in the permanent collections of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New Orleans Museum of Art and other museums across the country.
