Tommy Wyche, Photographer
John Garton, Author - 11/19/2007
Quiet Reflections
Tommy Wyche is nationally recognized for his achievements in the
conservation of large sections of the Blue Ridge Mountains in the
Carolinas. The book Quiet Reflections combines his award winning photography
with wonderful descriptions of the Clemson University Forest by naturalist
John Garton. This book highlights the beauty of Clemson's 17,500-acre
forest, the largest such forest in the nation adjacent to a university
campus. The Forest is home to more than 195 species of birds and 900 species
of plants and has been designated as an important bird area by the National
Audubon Society. Quiet Reflections is a two-year labor of love that required
trekking through the Forest in all types of weather to capture its beauty in
breathtaking photos and text.
