Chuck Summers, a photographer and church minister, has just released a book of images from across the state of Kentucky.

From the introduction: I have, in fact, now lived in western, central and eastern Kentucky. Despite spending basically my whole life here I must admit that until recently I had done little exploring or photography in Kentucky…

In some ways "Kentucky - Unbridled Spirit and Beauty" has been my attempt to go home again. Having done so only makes me want to do it again and again.

Kentucky - Unbridled Spirit and Beauty

Chuck Summers is also author of "A Year in the Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area" and "A Year in the Cumberland Gap National Historical Park."
