Editorial Reviews Amazon.com Greece's Cyclades islands serve as the backdrop for photographer Hans Silvester's latest voyeuristic venture into the animal world, Dogs in the Sun. Ranging in age, size, color, and hair type, these roving canines--who most often travel in packs and occasionally feature a domesticated dog or two along for the ride--know their island and "do exactly as they please." From romping on the beach to chasing a cat, lounging in the sun to protecting their territory, this mass of mutts is irresistible, and Silvester expertly captures their every move. "Every curl of the tail, every angle of wind-blown fur, every bared tooth, and every last innocent twinkle of the eye is skillfully revealed," resulting in a visual celebration of both the beauty of the Mediterranean and the indomitable spirit of the dog. Chicago Tribune "'Dogs in the Sun' is a remarkable portrait of dogs living on their own in one of the most pristinely beautiful settings imaginable, the Cyclades islands of Greece. Hans Silvester, author of more than 18 photography books, photographs, including the renowned 'Cats in the Sun,' has turned his lens on their canine counterparts. Against the deep blues of the Greek sky and sea, along rugged cliffs and magnificent shorelines, dogs frolic in the surf, romp, play-fight with each other, mate and raise their pups, chase cats and otherwise enjoy their freedom with such intensity one wonders why they ever gave it up to become man's best friend."
