The photos in this post are one series of shots I took. \u00c2\u00a0In all I doubt it took ten seconds. \u00c2\u00a0The photos are a bit grainy because of the sea-mist I was shooting through, the “high” ISO I had to use (500) and they are hand held. \u00c2\u00a0The whales are several hundred yards away. \u00c2\u00a0At sea level this would look like a ball of serpents…<\/p>\n

They feed all summer near Alaska, then come down here for the winter to give north. \u00c2\u00a0They don’t eat here.<\/p>\n

Blooop! \u00c2\u00a0Gone without a sound. \u00c2\u00a0Not that we could hear, anyway; we were a lot closer on the Alaska cruise!<\/p>\n
