The White Whale. In Melville's great book, Moby Dick, Captain Ahab madly pursues a great white whale, which leads to his destruction. The whale is certainly a symbolic figure, with many literary interpretations. This whale is real, however. I took this photo in in September 2018 in a bay of the Valdes Peninsula jutting out into the South Atlantic from the Argentine coast. Actually, this is a baby whale, only about 20 feet long. He (or she) is swimming just above his/her mother in the water below. The mother whale is about 50 feet in length. The while color is a mutation, albinism of sorts. Look at the whale, and the white whale-like cloud in the sky above. Kind of a neat picture.
