At the start of the year, she writes, The night was bright with a silvery soup of moonlight refracted off snowflakes fine as stardust. Spring arrives with breathtaking beauty and summer brings company from abroad. In the fall, Chris travels back to her first autumn at Nuk Tessli when she views an extraordinarily beautiful moment. The clouds hung low enough to almost touch the water . . . and a wonderful, bluish, pearly luminescence covered everything. Prepare to witness the magnificence of a year in British Columbia's high-altitude wilderness, a place of astounding natural beauty like no other.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harbour Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/31\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781550174410\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.70h x 6.60w x 0.80d","brand":"Chris Czajkowski","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44902090866869,"sku":"9781550174410","price":16.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_e68711e6-da17-45c7-a76e-7f075209f484.jpg?v=1733813116","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/a-mountain-year-nature-diary-of-a-wilderness-dweller-9781550174410","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
