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...

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