Okay, so there I was in my little kayak slowly cruising near the Pali (cliffs) of Maui, when out out the shallow water came the biggest fish I have ever seen! I must have pee’d in my pants. My camera was in my hands already, but the auto-focus was jumping all over the place. It was sort of a slow-motion nightmare, except that it was really cool after I realized that this hummer wasn’t actually going to land in my teeny little boat. I managed to get one photo. Whew.

I saw & felt this male Humpback Whale jumping out of the water from our very small fishing boat. It was a spectacular exp for me… Something I will never forget. Humpbacks are known as the acrobats of the ocean, often seen breaching (jumping out of the water), and flipper and tail slapping. For what purpose are these actions? These activities performed by surface active groups are usually involved in breeding behaviors. Researchers think the males are competing for the chance to mate with available females. Some of the behaviors shown were breaching, flipper/pec (pectoral fin) slapping and tail slapping. Breaches and slaps, in addition to being aggressive displays during courtship, may also be a play behavior in juvenile and adult whales Breaches and slaps may also be used to remove pesky barnacles or old skin (a form of grooming). The average length of a humpback whale? / Calves can be about 15 feet in length. Adults are about 45-50 feet.~ Nikon D60/55-200 / N.W. Mexico / Jan-2009 1802 views / 11-09

Under the sea, roams a four ton (3630 kgs) humpback whale full of playful fun…this rambunctious humpback whale calf considered our little group of snorkelers as his own personal “rubber duckies” in the shallow waters of the Dominican Republic’s Silver Bank. He played with us for hours, swimming close enough to touch us (literally!) while his mother napped below us, her reverie broken every 25” when she surfaced for a breath. This protected marine area is known as the Sanctuary For The Marine Mammals Of The Dominican Republic, including the waters of the Dominican Republic’s Silver Bank, Navidad Bank and Semana Bay. Located approximately 80 miles (approximately 123 kms) to the north of the Caribbean island nation of the Dominican Republic, the Silver Bank plays host to several thousand North Atlantic migrating humpback whales every year during the northern hemisphere’s winter months. Mother whales swim here from the cold nutrient-rich waters of the North Atlantic Ocean to bear their young as well as mate with hopeful males. Waters of the Silver Bank are relatively warm and shallow, about 60 feet deep (18 meters) on average, ideal for birthing humpback young. Additionally, the Silver Bank is a virtual underwater desert, devoid of rich schools of fish that would otherwise attract predators. This is a perfect environment in which to bring a baby whale into the world. Surface activity among competitive males hoping for a chance to mate ranges from breaching to pectoral slaps to tail lobs and slaps, all of it quite exciting. Yet the experience of being able to slip into the water with relaxed mothers, their calves and sometimes male escorts takes whale watching to new heights, inspiring emotions ranging from awe to sheer unadulterated joy. The humpback whale is classified as an endangered species. Threats to its survival include commercial whaling and boat strikes as well as entanglement in fishing gear, most commonly nets and fishing lines.

Where do you go when the world has failed you, / when those you sought to teach would not listen? / Where do you go when your joy fades to sorrow, / your oceans die, while your message washes in on a lonely tide, / and your brokenness is but a parting reminder for hard hearts to open? / When the oceans rise and your song is no longer heard, what shores await you….? / Where will you go? And might we with our healing hearts follow? Following on from my story about the mass whale stranding here in the south west I felt compelled to create something more…... to honour these beautiful creatures. Then I viewed the following amazing short clip (shame it’s an Optus advert lol) and wanted to share this with everyone….. / Please view Sales of this image will be donated to the Wildlife appeal to help the birds and animals who have suffered through the fires in Victoria.

acrylic/oil/wax/graphite on canvas 60” x 36” / This is the final painting in the Extinction series The work owes a huge debt to my friend CC Arsharga and his wonderful poem ‘I am the whale of poems’ Go ahead and eat me / For you are the reasons of teeth and claw / You are the cries of reality is / You are a killer of whales Because you can / Because you care not with your mighty ways / Because you are a hunger that feeds aimlessly / Because you love greed / Because your ego is sick / Because you die daily into nothing in order to exist / Because your mother is your food / Because you are lifeless at the heart of the world feeds you / Because your future is futile / Because your truth has no known equilibrium / Because you love these words / Because you feel them stab you / Because you bleed / Because your extinction matters not / Because you want to be as brave as dying / Because … you understand this poem still You have no cause to own the deeds that you are / Because life’s carcass holds no sacred value to you / Because you cannot kill yourself with your own reasons / Because you are a coward in the oceans of selfishness / And I am just the whale of poems And you hate poems / And you do not even care if your own soul is hunted For you are the predator who fears to admit / You are the very same prey © Copyright 1/20/2008 C.C. Arshagra / From: ‘Killing What You Do Not Understand’ ~ The ‘Adult Poetry’ series and collection (Unpublished work) / ......................... / Stages Finished at last! /

Humpback whale breaching in the fabulous, rich whale feeding grounds of Frederick Sound/Stephen’s Passage near Petersburg, Alaska, USA. Petersburg is situated on Mitkof Island in Alaska’s Inside Passage. While humpbacks collect barnacles by the ton, this particular cetacean sported the most barnacles I’ve ever seen on a humpback whale. This particular humpback whale breached continuously for 50 minutes! No doubt there was some reason for this amazing expenditure of energy but it just plain looked as if this whale was having fun. Gads, I love Alaska! Surely this is God’s country. Canon 40D, Canon 10-400mm lens, shutter 1/1250, f/11.0, focal length 235mm, ISO 400, handheld. August 13, 2009

In Inuit mythology, Sedna was the goddess of the sea and the whale was her most magnificent subject. Humpback whales are known for their magical songs, which travel for great distances through the world’s oceans. These sequences of moans, howls, cries, and other noises are quite complex and often continue for hours on end. Both male and female humpback whales produce sounds, however only the males produce the long, loud, complex “songs” for which the species is famous. Each song consists of several sounds in a low register that vary in amplitude and frequency, and typically lasts from 10 to 20 minutes. Humpbacks have been observed to sing continuously for more than 24 hours. Cetaceans have no vocal cords, so whales generate their song by forcing air through their massive nasal cavities. Scientists are studying these sounds to decipher their meaning. It is most likely that humpbacks sing to communicate with others and to attract potential mates. You can hear them sing here: / http://www.dosits.org/gallery/marinemm/2.htm IMPORTANT © COPYRIGHT NOTICE / The work contained in my gallery is copyright ©Tammara Markegard. All rights reserved.
