Whale
I was out on my canoe tonight and came across this fellow.
http://www.pbase.com/konascott/image/73249306/original Pretty neat but I was way to far away, so I paddled a bit closer and got this. http://www.pbase.com/konascott/image/73249313/original Better but still just a bit too far away, so a bit more paddling and I got this one. http://www.pbase.com/konascott/image/73249323/original This is about as close as I want to get to a whale when it is breaching and I am on a boat that weighs all of 25 Lbs.

Scott OMG Scott! What a huge, beautiful whale! Man! You got very close indeed. I bet you felt the aftermath when he hit the water! Excellent shots! Helen |

Oh man your heart must have been thumping in your chest like a steam train. I relate to your fear at getting too close, mate. Those things are like HUGE. Last year while I was out getting a few lessons in the Bocar( http://www.photosbydouglas.com/fun/the_car.jpg) I looked out the window at this bloke: http://www.photosbydouglas.com/fun/the_fish.jpg After I stopped and gained my composure (it takes a bit to make an emergency stop in one of these babies), he popped up right beside me to say g'day mate: http://www.photosbydouglas.com/fun/gday_mate.jpg Boy... Was I scared. All of a sudden, surrounded by whales with the tide turning, night coming and legally unable to start the engines while whales are close. Not like you mate, you could just paddle like fury and get the hell out of there. Good stuff Scott. Brave bloke indeed. Out with the Whales in a 25 pound canoe... And remembered to take your camera too!. Can I have your autograph? The world need more heroes like you. Too many of them just disappear. Douglas |

Cool photos BTW. Scott |
