Gallery

The images in this gallery are broken into seven different areas and chapters of the paperback version of “Dreamer of the Day”. It is our intention to produce a coffee table version of the book with over 130 images which will be disbursed through the book so as to match the storyline. We hope this will allow readers to enjoy the story and at the same time follow the photographic coverage of this most beautiful part of the world where most of the story takes place.
