The tail fluke of a humpback whale ...... I never dreamt I would come this close.
The humpback whale resides in the waters of Northern British Columbia in the Summer and migrates to the warm waters of Mexico and Hawaii to have its young. My son-in-law took us out in his small open boat , and I almost missed this shot when the whale was immediately infront of the boat. What excitement!!!!

Thank you so much for your many visits and comments for my Christmas and New years cards - and thank you for all your good wishes. Soon I will be back in Vancouver and be in FC regularly.
WOW...................!!!
What a fantastic encounter .....
I have seen this ones in Mexico ( Cabo San Lucas ) but from a distance while fishing for Tuna , and I was also very exited...
I know how you must have felt at this close encounter....
Fantastic .......!!!!
Best regards,

What an exciting picture, Adele.
It must have been very thrilling to sit in a small boat in immediate nearness of a whale.
A great experience for you, I think.

Hallo Adele, ich wäre gestorben, wenn ich diesem Buckelwal begegnet wäre. Noch dazu in einem kleinen Boot. Das ist ja lebensgefährlich. Eine spektakuläre Aufnahme von Dir, toll.

Wow... what a shot! I was once in front of a wild African elephant in Uganda.. rendez-vous with big animals are exciting and risky and a little incredible
Cheers

Amazing! What a great capture! It must have been really exciting!
I was on whale watching in Norway nearly 10 years ago and I felt so terribly seasick that I almost missed the whale.
Enjoy the rest of your journey and come back home healthy.
Kind regards

So, you have become a whale-watcher?:) Next time I expect a pic of a humpback coming up for air or, even better, breaching!:) But... for the time being I consider this shot marvellous enough!:)) I really do. Viola

Ein wunderbares Foto mit einer bestechenden Schärfe. Man muss innerhalb von Sekundenbruchteilen auf einen Bildausschnitt, eine Entfernung und Bewegung reagieren, sehr gut gemacht. Weiter so.
Mit lieben Grüßen
