0.000 HBDBreaching Humpback ~ Vancouver Island, BC
The first day I brought my new Canon 7D onto the ocean to take photos and this happened. A huge humpback whale breached about 20m from the vessel I was driving. It has never happened again to me since... Humpbacks have the largest pectoral fins (arms) of any of other whale species in the world~ this gives them amazing agility in the water. <center>Hence my favourite nickname to call them **The Ballerinas of the Ocean.**</center> ***  *** Thanks for reading and all the support, Steemit!!
