Sacramento Impressions Author: Myers, Tom ISBN: 9781560374640 Cover: Paperback Copyright: 09/01/2007 Sacramento Impressions is a vivid portrayal by photographers Tom, Sally, and Jeff Myers of California's capital city, Sacramento, also known as the "City of Trees". Featuring an informative foreword by Sacramento's mayor, the Honorable Heather Fargo, as well as informative captions, this collection highlights the dynamic city in the heart of California. Longtime residents, the Myers capture Sacramento in all of its many moods: from the brilliantly-colored fireworks at the Capitol to the silhouetted fishermen quietly fishing along the American River Parkway from the stately, checkerboard fields of rice in the Sacramento Valley to the horse-drawn stagecoaches during Gold Rush Days in Old Sacramento. The Myers' images capture the sights and colors of the vibrant place once known as New Helvetica: from the bright masts of catamarans at the Folsom Lake Regatta to gold autumn leaves blanketing William Land Park.
