Excerpts from
the back cover. . .
The Colorado Plateau is the
largest sandstone plateau in the world. It is a
world full of colourful and bizarre formations
sculpted by water and wind. Jan-Eric Österlund
takes us on a photographic odyssey from Grand Junction
to Sedona.
From the inside front flap. . .
The Colorado Plateau covers an area of
130,000 square miles and part of the states of
Colorado, Utah, Arizona and a little bit of New
Mexico. Through it runs the Colorado River. The
Plateau is the largest sandstone plateau on earth.
Shaped by the elements into wonderful forms: arches,
bridges, windows, spires, hoodoos and goblins.
Cut by the rivers and streams into deep ravines
and canyons of which Grand Canyon is the mightiest.
Raised by volcanic eruptions into mountain ranges.
Jan-Eric Österlund’s
images capture the interplay of form and light
on these spectacular creations with their saturated
colours of ochre, red and orange against a blue
sky as he tells the story of their geological history.
This
is Jan-Eric’s unique perspective. His
way of seeing the light and his view of Nature’s
evocative grandeur guides us through the journey. Impressions of the Colorado
Plateau is an unforgettable
essay in words and colours, a true homage to the
splendour of this humbling wonder of the world. |

About
the author. . . Jan-Eric Österlund
is an explorer at heart. An adventurer, photographer and
author, he has degrees in engineering and business administration
and started his career in academic research before entering
the business world. He chaired a public investment company
in Sweden before moving to England in 1983 building up
a venture capital group investing mainly in medical technology
and biotech.
His first adventures at sea were
made at a very tender age in small sailing boats on the
narrow inlets that break up the Swedish coastline. He
later developed a keen interest in yachting, and after
several years of sailing in Scandinavia, he built the
eighty-foot sloop Swedish Caprice,
which he sailed for three months a year, over a period
of fifteen years. He voyaged in Alaskan and Canadian waters,
the Far East, the South Pacific and in the Indian Ocean,
but also in more familiar yachting waters such as the Mediterranean,
the Caribbean and along the New England coast. Between
2005 and 2007 Jan-Eric and his wife Jennifer lived on board
Adèle, a 180-foot ketch with
a sail area of 1,5550 square meters after their marriage
outside Göteborg in Sweden in Summer 2005. They spent
a considerable amount of time at sea, visiting Lofoten,
Spitsbergen, southern Europe, the Caribbean, Panama, the
Galapagos Islands, the South Pacific from French Polynesia
to Vanuatu and New Zealand. They sailed back via Cape Horn,
the Antarctic, the Falkland Islands and South Georgia before
returning to the Caribbean by way of Brazil. Their two-year
voyage covered a distance corresponding to one Atlantic
crossing each month.
His first book, Exploring
with Adèle, chronicles
his two-year round the world voyage with his wife Jennifer,
in the eponymous 180-foot ketch that he helped design and
commissioned. Adèle won
several international prizes and Jan-Eric’s accounts
of their voyages on Adèle have
been published in a number of yachting magazines with his
photos together with the renowned yacht photographer Rick
Tomlinson, who took part in some of their voyages.
Jan-Eric Österlund has given speeches and slide show
presentations about their sailings for Boat International’s
Yacht Design Symposium in New York, for the yacht Vision
international symposium at Auckland and in Holland, united
Kingdom and Sweden.
As a photographer his main interest is
landscape photography and his portfolio on this web site
illustrates the diversity of his travels and his photographic
vision. His second book, Impressions
of the Colorado Plateau, is a photographic
account of the largest sandstone plateau on earth and its
incredible beauty.

Excerpts
from the inside front flap. . .
“FROM BIRTH
TO TODDLER is the debut book by
what the critics believe is one of the
most interesting authors of our time.
His sensitive treatment of the subject
of birth and growing up and his description
of his relationship with his loving but
very dominating parents touches every
soul.
Eric Gregory Österlund takes the reader
through a journey in time and space, but
it is the insight he gives the reader of
his inner feelings that really captivates
you. His meetings with famous characters
(like his Lola and Cousin Mikee and his Godparents)
are described with Eric’s typical charm,
and the story exudes warmth that will engage
the reader until the very last page.
The story is illustrated by a good selection
of photographs that have been chosen by the
author. He has done so wisely, as at least
90% of the photos depict Eric Gregory himself,
a subject we cannot have too much of!” |

About the author.
. .
Eric Gregory Österlund has a
long and distinguished career behind him (as far as
toddlers go), mainly as a model for his father’s
endless photography, but also as a writer. He is judged
by many to be a future politician, as he speaks more
than intelligibly. He is a family man at heart and
lives with his mother and father in rural Devon.
When Eric Gregory isn’t working
on a new book, he enjoys outdoor life. He exercises regularly
and his garden walks are famous. He has a great sense
of humour. He loves driving cars and lawn mowers, but
his success in this area has so far been slightly restricted
by the fact that he cannot reach the pedals yet.
Eric Gregory is an experienced worldwide
traveller but is always happiest returning to his beloved Knightstone
Manor. |
