Whales, whales, whales

Sorry for not continuing sooner but the reason is that the next day I took nearly 750 pics and it takes time to sort through them to select a few. And I didn’t have that time. Or better said: I did have a bit of time in between but preferred to spend it with the members of our group. So here are pics from the next day. As you can see it was lots of whales: razor-back whales, humpbacks and orcas…

We left when the day was dawning (the sun didn’t come up for another hour though).

Orcas mum with baby

Spy hopping

And when he went down from spy-hopping more orcas came from behind him

 

Humpback

And here the humpback is sneaking up from behind to Uli

Humpbacl coming up feeding

Orca using his tail to kick the hering

This damaged orca kept swimming by our boat

Panorama

Suddenly the light changed to a bit reddish… not sure why…

Humpback going down

Then the sun came out…

This orca was making some fuss next to our boat…

Not sure what part of him this is…

He swam by again

Came back and then we suddenly had lots of dead herring floating by…

Tobi and the orcas…

It was an exceptional day, the best day with whales that we had on our trip. I think we all returned with big smiles on our faces… And were looking forward to more days like this. Little did we know…
