Moods of Nature is the black, white and orange sequel to the acclaimed art books Reflection, Shades of Nature and Art of Nature by Heinrich van den Berg.
Moods of Nature is daring and original. The photography is unique and powerful. The text, in caption format, is a mixture of poetry and philosophy; it complements the images in an extraordinary manner. There is a depth in the visual images that the viewer will only fully appreciate by reading the accompanying words.
As with Shades of Nature, Van den Berg has stripped the images of all colour. In doing so, he has managed to magically add an extra layer to them. In addition, he uses orange as the colour representing mood. Images of that colour dramatically emphasise the black and white medium.
Moods of Nature has depth in thought, design and imagery. It is a work of gravity and imagination that transcends photographic preconceptions and elevates wildlife photography to a new level.

The book contains black and white photographs on high quality paper. Some pictures spread over two pages. As the book title already promises the photographs show different aspects of nature, not only animals. But all of them show the trained eye of a professional photographer.

I just love this book. It's different, its unique. It opens your mind and eye to new and interesting possibilities that you normally don't see in nature.
It's not always just about the big five or portraits. It's about the experiences and the finer details that mother nature has perfected over many years.
Thanks for showing us this and opening up our minds and photographic eyes.
Setting new challenges for myself after seeing this amazing book.
It's a must!

Thank you for sharing the magic!
Your pictures and captions moved me, it is incredibly beautiful!
I was thoroughly impressed with the condition of the books, which were well-protected during delivery. The stunning photography and engaging facts made them even more enjoyable.
I purchased my books more than 14 days ago; the courier has sent me 3 SMSs in a row. Every day I get very excited that I'm sure my books will arrive today, but I am still waiting. I'm sure the books are going to be great, if I can just receive it I will be very happy.
This book is of interest to new and experienced twitchers alike. Spent many hours looking through the book while waiting at waterholes, and a useful tool to quickly identify the birds seen most often in the park. Excellent photographs and intersting background to the birds themselves
