Adirondack Solitude | Peace and Stillness in the Adirondack Wilderness  


Book & Photography by Russ Hartung


“Solitude is hard to find these days, and harder still to capture in an image. But that’s just what Award-Winning photographer Russ Hartung does in his photographs of the majestic peaks and intimate views of the Adirondack wilderness. Adirondack Solitude explores the feeling of being on top of a mountain before sunrise and watching the light change over landscapes of unbroken wilderness; the serenity of drifting across a misty lake in a kayak and hearing a loon’s echoing call in the distance; the chorus of enveloping rain from a sudden thunderstorm while on the trail, and the answering symphony of peepers long the shore, heard from the warmth of a tent in the evening.”
