Sea of Dreams: Baja California Natural Heritage

This is a personal account of decades at sea, photographing whales and marine life and absorbing the beauty of the peninsula and the Sea of Cort廥. With lyrical prose and striking images, the author portrays a place where boojum trees and card鏮 cactus rise like Gaud?sculptures, islands float like mirages, and gray whales find refuge in calm lagoons. But this is also a quiet warning. As time passes, we forget the abundance that once was. The sea, once teeming with life, is changing, with fewer whales, smaller fish, and quieter skies. This book records what was and reminds us of what could still be--if we choose to remember.

From Picacho del Diablo to the whirlpools of Salsipuedes, this journey captures wild animals in their element: unposed, untamed, real. At its core, it is a story of longing--for beauty, wildness, and truth--and of finding vivid, unexpected life among shooting stars and surfacing whales.
