I photographed the dolphin at an Asian Lights display.

Long-beaked common dolphins are gregarious and are often seen ‘porpoising' at the water surface, breaching and bow-riding for extended periods of time. They are also highly vocal and like the short-beaked common dolphin, can be heard whistling to each other when they are above the surface of the water. They typically travel in large social groups numbering between 10 and 50 dolphins.

The common dolphin is the name given to two species (and possibly a third) of dolphin making up the genus Delphinus.
Prior to the mid-1990s, most taxonomists only recognised one species in this genus, the common dolphin Delphinus delphis. Modern cetologists usually recognise two species — the short-beaked common dolphin, which retains the systematic name Delphinus delphis, and the long-beaked common dolphin Delphinus capensis.
The common dolphin is not the dolphin of popular imagination despite its name; that distinction belongs to the bottlenose dolphin due to its widespread use in marine parks and its appearance in the television series Flipper.However, this dolphin was the most frequently represented in the art and literature of ancient Greece and Rome.
In dophin jumping skill I think this one scored close to a 10! We had watched a sperm whale catching its breath after a deep dive for 45 minutes then found a dolphin school. Seen from a Whale Watch boat off Kaikoura, a small town on the East coast in the north of NZ's South Island.
We are on holiday on our way to spend time with family. Internet time is limited but I will try to visit some friends.

Seen from the shore at Richardson Beach Park, Kalanianaole Ave, Hilo, Island of Hawaii [Big Island], Hawaii.
Info: A group of dolphins is called a pod. A pod usually is formed of around 12 dolphins, and it is the usual social group of dolphins. > www.dolphins-world.com/what-is-a-group-of-dolphins-called/
In Cardiff Bay and the adjacent Cardiff docks complex, there are many structures that remain from when Cardiff was the world's premier coal exporting port.
One of the most recognisable - and most photographed (well, by me, anyway!) - are the mooring 'dolphins'.
Their purpose was to allow ships waiting to enter the docks to tie up to them to stop the ships toppling over when the tide retreated and the ships rested on the tidal mud flats.
Despite being built about 120 years ago, there are quite a few of these structures still remaining.
In this image, I've applied a slight sepia tone and vignette to represent how a photograph of a 'dolphin' may have looked when taken in the early Edwardian period - although the water gauge board in metres rather undermines my efforts!
HSS!
On the way out to photograph whooping cranes we saw this dolphin out in the bay. This group didin't seem to be very playful, and we only saw one surface this once.
Had an amazing experience encountering a superpod of thousands of Northern Right Whale Dolphins and Pacific White-Sided Dolphins grouped together in Monterey Bay, CA.
I wonder how many cell phones are laying on the bottom of the ocean right off shore?
I see people taking pictures of the dolphins off the back of jet skies all the time.
I am such a klutz, I just know that the 1st swell to come along and bump the craft would make me drop my phone right in the drink!
Mandurah's pristine, protected estuary is home to one of the healthiest dolphin pods in the world, with a massive population of somewhere between 90 and 100 dolphins.
Dolphin rock at sunrise on the Sunshine Coast QLD. I have been chasing this shot for a while now where a nice sunrise aligns with high tide. Was finally successful last week. Instagram @glensinclair_photography

Dolphins always seem to be enjoying themselves. Maybe it's the upturned smiling mouths, coupled with their exuberance, or maybe I'm anthropomorphising too much. But watching Dolphins leaping never fails to fill me with joy. Even on a grey day in Monterey Bay. There were unusually large numbers of (Long-beaked) Common Dolphins in Monterey Bay this year, possibly pushed north by the warm waters of an El Nino year.

There were more than two. Taken around sunset, at the Santa Monica Pier. Yes, at first I thought they were sharks when I first saw the fins, then they started jumping in sync and only then I realized they were dolphins.
Two dolphins coast in the bow wave of the boat as we were going through the fjords of the South Island of New Zealand. I've only swum with wild dolphins once... that was in Hawaii. We swam out about a mile into the ocean where we saw them jumping and having fun... I swam and dove with them for about an hour... They were all totally peaceful and I never felt nervous, even though I was in awe. One of them was even pregnant... was hoping to see it give birth or something! But that didn't happen... but it would have been awesome to see that in the wild.

This was a blast! I must say it was a challenge to capture these dolphins...The trip was almost over before I got a shot..

Thanks everyone for the views, comments, and favs or Thanks for just stopping by!
doing some whale watching the other day and came across a small pod of dolphins. They came around the boat and even seemed to enjoy racing along the side of it. These two seemed to stay close.
These are pantropical spotted dolphins (Stenella attenuata). The guide on the boat suggested there were a hundred or two here, although that's hard to tell from my photos.
