This male humpback put on quite a show, repeatedly diving and breaching, perhaps trying to see how much of his body he could get out of water. It was certainly something to see.

I recently returned from an Alaskan cruise and land tour. We took several excursions and whale watching was one of them.
This day started out raining but when we got to the viewing location thankfully the rain stopped and we were able to walk out onto the front of our boat.
This one was taken in Icy Strait Point. We were fortunate to see a mother and her calf out and about. The calf was the only one breaching the water. Fortunately he jumped several times because this is one of only a few I got in focus.
The setting sun reflects off this segment of the Philadelphia skyline with the tallest skyscraper, The Comcast Technology Center in the foreground. It is the tallest building in the city of Philadelphia and also the tallest building in Pennsylvania rising to 342 meters.
There only 13 building in the USA that are taller and they are either in Manhattan or Chicago.

Sorry for posting another breaching Humpback but photo-opportunities like this are few and far between. This was a particularly energetic female with a youngster in tow, that was also breaching. This was at Gorda Banks off the southern tip of the Baja peninsula in Mexico.

The winter storms took it`s toll on the sea defences at Climping in Sussex, complete wreckage of the old wooden groynes all along this stretch of coast where the flat land meets the sea, a spot i`ll be back to in the winter I think.
I was sitting quietly watching a beaver swimming in a pond. The water levels were very high and the dam had been breached. This beaver suddenly appeared with an armful of mud and started the necessary repairs needed for the dam.

Basalisk riles up his army before they cross the breach to plunder as much resonant crystal as they can.

Juvenile humpback feeding along with a massive pod of dolphins. Off the coast of San Diego, CA. A lot going on in this photo. Such an awesome experience to see up close.
Saw this amazing breach while out in Monterey Bay! Notice this is only at 90mm! They are so active right now its incredible!

1964, Jorge Luis Borges
Ya no es mágico el mundo. Te han dejado.
Ya no compartirás la clara luna
ni los lentos jardines. Ya no hay una
luna que no sea espejo del pasado,
cristal de soledad, sol de agonías.
Adiós las mutuas manos y las sienes
que acercaba el amor. Hoy sólo tienes
la fiel memoria y los desiertos días.
Nadie pierde (repites vanamente)
sino lo que no tiene y no ha tenido
nunca, pero no basta ser valiente
para aprender el arte del olvido.
Un símbolo, una rosa, te desgarra
y te puede matar una guitarra.
Ya no seré feliz. Tal vez no importa.
Hay tantas otras cosas en el mundo;
un instante cualquiera es más profundo
y diverso que el mar. La vida es corta
y aunque las horas son tan largas, una
oscura maravilla nos acecha,
la muerte, ese otro mar, esa otra flecha
que nos libra del sol y de la luna
y del amor. La dicha que me diste
y me quitaste debe ser borrada;
lo que era todo tiene que ser nada.
Sólo que me queda el goce de estar triste,
esa vana costumbre que me inclina
al Sur, a cierta puerta, a cierta esquina.

Whale biologist Hal Whitehead defines a breach as when more than 40% of the animal is above water, whereas a lunge is when less than 40% appears. I remember that this adult Humpback Whale dropped back into the water straight after this shot, and I'd guess about 40% is on show, so this is a borderline breach. You can see water pouring out of its mouth (especially on the far side) and cascading down its back. I think the top of its pectoral fin is just visible if you zoom in, though it looks oddly absent. That misty area just left of its mouth is actually its breath as it quickly dissipates in the next pictures in the sequence. This was taken at Gorda Banks off the southern tip of the Baja peninsula.
