Kirk’s wife dies, asking with her last breath that he take photographs in Yosemite National Park to fulfill her lifelong dream. Confused and uncertain with Sara’s request, Kirk begins a reluctant journey, influenced by his love for Sara, his powerful encounters with nature, and the people he meets – learning from some, facing dangerous situations with others. An old growth forest is threatened by a timber company, a famous river is threatened by the construction of a reservoir, and a grizzly bear is threatened by poachers. An ancient Native American Heritage is brought into focus with a new perspective on discovery. A marriage is caught in the middle of an environmental conflict. A new Forestry challenges traditional methods. And a man must confront old values and beliefs.
James Kraus knows the woods from every perspective – as a source of Wonder, a source of Timber, and a source of Conflict.
