On one wall there is a steaming rockpool of water at the Children's Falls. so named alter two children tell with a collapsing bridge. Opposite. a dark black scene oi rock throws up a bright light at ice in the background and the message at a white leather in lront. Going up the stairs a rock slope has been tipped into a kingdom ot clouds. Using the power at reality. these photographs by the Glasgow-adopted American Thomas Joshua Cooper take you to the heart at glacier. mountain and lalls.
The quality at his prints. as ever. is monumental. Close up every detail is
