Summer Nights is a sequence of nightscapes photographed along the eastern edge of the Rocky Mountains in Colorado. Robert Adams focuses on the continuing natural presence found in the beauty of trees, sky, and the shape of the land. The series proceeds outward from population centers (chiefly Denver) to the rural plains and mountains, linking what remains of nature in the cities to a larger natural context.

Robert Adams's photographs, most of which record the development of the modern American West, have been widely exhibited. His other books include Perfect Times, Perfect Places; Listening to the Rivers; and West from the Columbia.

"It is difficult to imagine [one's beliefs] being expressed any more eloquently, or with more passion than they are here." (Andy Grundburg)
