A humpback whale's 'tail slap'. This is a technique humpbacks use to stun their prey, making it easier to collect and eat.Saw this guy, and many of his kin, while whale watching off the coast of Juneau, Alaska.
Lots more photos soon...
I'm an amateur photographer with a backlog of photos I like. This blog is for me to post a picture a day (more or less) along with selected stories of when/why I took them.
