Shepherding Dolphins Through the Fjords of Death

 

It has been a tense but successful week in the Faroes as three Sea Shepherd ships and their small boats successfully shepherded hundreds of dolphins past the dark, dangerous shores of the Danish Faroe Islands and back to the safety of the open sea.

Saving the lives of dolphins in the Faroes is considered a crime. It is a crime to intervene against the killing, it is a crime to fail to report the sightings of dolphins to the whalers and it is a crime to divert dolphins away from the coast of the Faroe Islands.

This summer, Sea Shepherd volunteers have joyfully committed illegal acts of compassion by attempting to interfere with the killing and more successfully diverting hundreds of potential victims away from the ruthless killers on the Faroese shores.

This week Sea Shepherd volunteers managed to move hundreds of the dolphins through the fjords without being detected by the Danish Navy or the Faroese whalers.

Over the past three months, the Sea Shepherd ships The MV Brigitte Bardot, The MV Sam Simon, and more recently The MV Bob Barker, in collaboration with the Sea Shepherd land crew, have successfully escorted hundreds of dolphins, including pilot whales, away from the killing beaches of the Faroe Islands.

This week alone pods of pilot whales, white-sided dolphins, white-beaked dolphins and bottlenose dolphins have been led away from the shores of the archipelago by the Sea Shepherd ships. These species are four of the six that, according to local regulations, can be targeted for slaughter in the infamous drive hunt known as the grindadráp.

All of the pods were located close to the islands’ shores and, as such, were at high risk of being spotted by locals and reported to authorities for slaughter.

And these risks have paid off wonderfully and because of the efforts of these courageous and passionate Sea Shepherd volunteers, many hundreds of Pilot whales and dolphins are now swimming free and their blood has not turned the beaches red with this thing called the grindadrap (The murder of whales) that has brought such shame upon the Danish people.

My niece got married last Saturday. This is a little brfore leaving the house for the ceremony, a little tense in anticipation. My IPhone was there to capture the moment.

 

Same subject, another note: It has been a long party since last Thursday. The last guests coming from all over Brazil and some from the US, many staying with us, just left with me four lbs heavier than five days ago. Have today to go out and catch a minimalist photo for the challenge.

"Are we getting something out of this all-encompassing trip?

You can spend your time alone redigesting past regrets,

Or you can come to terms and realize

you're the only one who cannot forgive yourself,

Makes much more sense to live in the present tense" -PJ

adj. intimidated by the awareness that you’re in the present moment, right now, inhabiting the single fleeting second that exists, feeling like a surfer riding a cresting wave across an infinite sea, desperate to keep your balance, but unsure whether to lean forward or lean back.

A hot, tense moment between a couple often brims with a mix of passion, anticipation, and unspoken emotions. Here's a description:

 

The air feels charged, heavy with the unspoken tension between them. Their gazes lock, intense and unyielding, as if the world has narrowed to just the space they occupy. Every breath is deliberate, their chests rising and falling in sync, each inhalation drawing them closer. The proximity is tantalizing, a whisper of heat radiating from their bodies as they hover on the edge of a line neither is willing to cross first.

 

Words seem unnecessary, their expressions communicating what lies beneath desire, hesitation, and a spark of challenge. The slight brush of fingertips sends a shiver down the spine, igniting sparks that race through their veins. The silence is loud, punctuated by the faint sound of a heartbeat or is it two? Every second feels like an eternity, a dance of restraint and yearning.

 

This tension is magnetic, raw, and electric a prelude to something undeniable, just waiting for one of them to take the leap.

I am pleased with this picture :)

A tense dog barks while tied to a designated post outside a pharmacy. The contrast between the bright green background and the dog's alert posture captures a moment of urban agitation and loyalty as it waits for its owner.
