p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · The coolest thing I've ever seen!


On our trip to Alaska we got lucky enough to spot several Humpback whales in several settings, here are some of my favorites...

#1 off our cruise ship just outside of Ketchikan, AK. Loved the sunset lighting here, but I didn't quite capture the color right...

#2 In Glacier Bay, also off the ship. This whale was no more than 20' from the boat picking up the Ranger from our ship to the Park Ranger Station and 40' from the ship at the time... Awesome to see

#3 Same Whale as #2, couldn't get the image framed right, but I loved the picture anyway!

#4 Finally, several of a Humpback Calf learning to breech in front of her mother. Ali, our naturalist said she hadn't seen this calf exhibit this display before that day. She also learned to slap her pectoral fin on the water that day (don't have that image located yet...). Cool stuff for a guy who grew up in small-town Kansas...

#5 Same whale

#6 Again, she was awesome! But she just wouldn't keep her eyes open... Finicky Models anyway!

The sky reflection in the first is sweet. I love the background of the fort and the last is wonderful

Very nice. I am jealous! We didn't get such a good look at the whales when we cruised in Alaska a few years ago. Well done!

Awesome images Shane - especially the last ! Quite an experience I'm sure. I've done whale-watching in a chopper in NZ but it was nothing like this !
