Hidden in Plain Sight
Moments of Beauty
by Ian Temple Roberts


These experiences and photographs opened the eyes of a wandering Englishman from Yorkshire in WWII childhood, world journeys, and an unwelcome coda. A personal poetic travel album with thoughts on how he sees as he goes. A quiet explorer, he invites us to find beauty wherever we look. A book of loving stories.
