The coasts of Goele, Penthievre and Emeraude are among the main attractions for holiday-makers in Brittany. They are the object of Philip Plisson's lense in this book, including photographs taken both on foot and by air. Plisson reveals long sandy beaches ending in granite cliffs, the medieval chateau at Fort-la-Latte, the gothic ruins of the abbey at Beauport, and the different faces and colours of the sea.
Philip Plisson, the well-known French marine photographer, has turned his attention to his passion, the oceans of the world. Plisson's remarkable photographs glorify humankind's obsession with conquering the seas. His images capture the ocean's drama and power, and provide glimpses of life in seaside communities. The book also addresses the current environmental dangers that threaten the fragile ecological balance of the planet's waters.A book for photography lovers, undersea adventurers, and those concerned with the future of the earth, this breathtaking volume celebrates -- in 400 of Plisson's most evocative images -- our never-ending fascination with the world's oceans and seas.
