About the book: Visualize the swell of a wave and its transluscent color; a flaming sunset on the horizon or the moon reflected on the ocean's surface; the endless variations created by the surge and pull of the tide. See dolphins and whales, reef fish, and the amazing panorama of underwater life. These are some of the wonders that Christian Riese Lassen is world-renowned for recreating in his magnificent art.
