Taken during my morning walk.
Yesterday I had 50 minutes to kill so I went to the nearest beach. I looked out to the ocean and saw a whale leaping out of the ocean, blowing it’s spout, flipping it’s tail and flippers alternately. It’s flipper was nearly all white, brought to mind Moby Dick. I noticed people had gathered on balconies and at the far end of the pier to watch. Someone who’d been watching too stopped to talk to me. He said he’s been living here all his life and had never seen one so close before.

Thank you StreetArtnia and Conor!
Allen, what a gorgeous picture and incredible experience.
I imagine this picture to convey that sense of majesty that you feel when seeing such an incredible creature.
Hi Karen, Thank you. Yes that’s what I’m mean to convey..and a sense of otherworld.
Thank you Alana, Alva, Leanne, Patrick and Rommel!
Hi Maricica, Antonio and Jackie..thank you!
Mist or fog and water are nearly always a visually amazing combination
A real otherworldly look. I imagine where you are there’s probably more opportunity for fog/ mist and water than anywhere else I can think of.
Hi Metin…thank you!
