The Channeled Scablands of eastern Washington State, carved and scoured by catastrophic floods at the end of the most recent ice age, are a testament to the awe-inspiring power of nature. These rugged landscapes, adorned with breathtaking waterfalls, sprawling canyons, and cinematic palisades, captivate with their harsh beauty and diverse natural features. In this captivating pictorial love letter to the region, writer and photographer Timothy Connor expertly weaves together stunning images, engaging field notes, historical narrative, and a touching personal journey. Through his photography, Connor captures the expansive horizons, intricate wetlands, and vibrant wildlife, while his words delve into the enigmatic landmarks of the area, shedding light on their formation through the story of J Harlen Bretz, the geologist who first proposed the massive floods that created the Scablands' epic cataracts and inexplicably deep lakes.
Adding a personal touch, Connor intertwines his own journey of grief with the narrative, creating a moving and visually stunning tribute to the enduring power of nature and the healing power of time. Beautiful Wounds serves as a poignant reminder of the delicate balance between humanity and the natural world, and encourages us to appreciate and protect the precious landscapes that surround us.
