Humpback whale / Buckelwal (Megaptera novaeangliae)
seen at sunset between Bella Bella and Port Hardy, Vancouver Island, BC, Canada
This big humpback whale suddenly surfaced and blew just a few meters next to our boat near Telegraf Cove on Vancouver Island. Almost too close to take a sharp photo with my camera's telephoto lens. It was breathtaking and the highlight of a stunning day at sea that started with heavy fog and ended in a warm sunset under a steel blue sky after watching humpback whales, orcas, porpoises and dolphins in one of the most paradisiacal places I have ever seen ...
Dieser große Buckelwal tauchte plötzlich auf und blies nur wenige Meter neben unserem Boot bei Telegraf Cove auf Vancouver Island. Fast zu nah, um mit dem Teleobjektiv meiner Kamera ein scharfes Foto zu machen. Es war atemberaubend und der Höhepunkt eines fantastischen Tages auf See, der mit dichtem Nebel begann und in einem warmen Sonnenuntergang unter stahlblauem Himmel endete, nachdem wir Buckelwale, Orcas, Schweinswale und Delfine beobachten konnten, an einem der paradiesischsten Orte, den ich je gesehen habe ...

Each year thousands of these gentle giants rest, play and nurture their young in the sheltered waters of Hervey Bay. A real treat to watch them.

They have been like this for a while, very close to each other. I thought the mother might be nursing the baby. Then the little one went into play mode.

Humpback whale fluke, captured during a whale watch trip out of Provincetown, Cape Cod, Massachusetts.
The whale swimming towards the setting sun made a wonderful closing scene after plenty of whale sightings, just before the boeat headed back to Provincetown. It was an unforgettable experience I would not want to miss.

Auch die Tierwelt kam bei unserem Trip nach Kanada nicht zu kurz. Zwar ist Tierfotografie nicht unbedingt mein Metier, aber wenn man schon dieses Land besucht, wollte ich auch da nicht hinten anstehen. Besonders auf Vancouver Island freute ich mich und das ich da richtig lag bestätigte sich dann auch. Bei unseren Touren hatten wir, so glaube ich, richtig Glück. Ganz besonders mit Walen. Aber auch Seeadler, Seelöwen, Orcas und auch Bären waren dabei.

The wildlife was not neglected on our trip to Canada. Although animal photography is not necessarily my profession, but if you already visited this country, I did not want to stand behind there. Especially on Vancouver Iceland, I was happy and that I was right there then confirmed. On our tours we had, I think, really lucky. Especially with whales. But also sea eagles, sea lions, orcas and also bears were there.

Close up of the baleen plates of a humpback whale, captured during a whale watch trip out of Provincetown, Cape Cod, Massachusetts.
another perspective which shows the bond between mother and calf . . . again just before they came up together for their breath cycle . . . happy sunday to everyone :)
this playful and curious calf showed a lot of activity . . . get closer each breath cycle . . . swimming with whales is some kind of addictive :)
we saw that juvenile humpack from a far distance breaching multiple times. by the time we got there he breached at least 20 times and gave us at least 2 other full breaches before leaving with a deep dive, Monterey Bay, CA
