Mother & Child Reunion by Gail Bridger

/ Mother & Child Reunion / No I would not give you false hope / On this strange and mournful day / But the mother and child reu-nion / Is only a motion away, oh, little darling of mine. / I cant for the life of me / Remember a sadder day / I know they say let it be / But it just dont work out that way / And the course of a lifetime runs / Over and over again No I would not give you false hope / On this strange and mournful day / But the mother and child reu-nion / Is only a motion away, oh, little darling of mine. I just cant believe its so, / And though it seems strange to say / I never been laid so low / In such a mysterious way / And the course of a lifetime runs / Over and over again The whales were a part of painted wall in town here and the ocean shot was taken from my workplace in Port Hardy, BC on Vancouver Island. Thank you for viewing and I hope you enjoy image and song!!

Flying calf by Wilparina

This young calf of around 4 or 5 weeks of age kept us entertained for about an hour. It was one of the rare ones that more often than not got it’s whole body out of the water. Tail and all.
THWACK! by whalegeek

A humpback whale breached VERY close to our tiny whale watching vessel in Frederick Sound near Petersburg, Alaska, USA. Breaching humpbacks make a thunderous sound when they crash onto the surface of water, much like a ‘thwack.’ This fella was so close the crash was more akin to a boom! A few more feet and the whale would have been in my lap. This is a different view of a breaching humpback whale than what one usually sees, affording a good look at the humpback’s throat pleats (rorquals), barnacle encrustation on the whale’s throat and the whale’s bumpy tubercules on its rostrum (nose). Canon 40D, Canon 100-400mm lens, shutter 1/640, f/9.0, focal length 330mm, ISO 400. August 15, 2009
Whale's Morning Song, Woolgoolga by louisegreen

Pastel on Grey Colourfix Pastel Paper 2009 / SOLD Earlier in the year a friend & myself spent a week at the gorgeous little town of Woolgoolga, situated on the Far / North Coast of the NSW East Coast. We had rented a holiday / cottage for the week, to paint & photograph some of the / local beaches. The view from the cottage on the headland was lovely & / this painting was created from there. The first morning we / were blessed with watching the sun rise over the ocean / as a Humpback whale breached in the distance. I had entered this painting for an exhibition but it was sold / beforehand. Featured in DOLPHINS & WHALES GROUP – September 2009 / Featured in “INSIDE SOLO” Vol 11 (September 25th 2009)

The Escape by Rachael Talibart

A humpback whale in Monterey Bay, California. This was hardy whalewatching – we were some of the few people left on deck by this time. The weather conditions, as you can see, were not good for spectacular photography but I thought the tall ship sailing off into the fog suggested a story and warranted a slightly vintage look. / Canon EOS 400D and SIGMA 70-300mm lens.
