hump backs

today, i was at work on the beach. it was a long slow boring day for most of it. basically, because it was raining all day with a cold southerly wind blowing. the beach was closed due to pollution, and there were no customers. the highlight of the day came when there was a large pod of humpback whales jumping out of the water. to watch these huge creatures throw their massive bodies clear out of the water was simply awesome, and to watch them come down making a splash larger than a sail boat was quite spectacular. i watched this go on for over an hour today. i am not sure if it was the same pod of whales, or more likely a long line up of several pods. my favorite part is watching the juveniles jumping up and out of the water. what a show!
