Through full-color photographs taken across the seasons, this book captures quiet paths, open hillsides, and garden spaces shaped by light, weather, and time. The book provides a historical chronicle while allowing the images to lead. Highland Park is for readers who appreciate landscape photography, public parks, and the enduring value of places created for the public good.
