He piled upon the whale’s white hump the sum of all the general rage and hate felt by his whole race from Adam down; and then, as if his chest had been a mortar, he burst his hot heart’s shell upon it.

Thank you so much SAmurray. I would love to live here if it didn’t get so darned cold in winter.
WOW! How’s that?
Haha that’s perfect Jerry! Oh you make me laugh. 700 pics 64 keepers.
Wonderful captures! 🙂
Thank so much. So happy you liked these
Magnificent creatures, and such a wonderful series of images
Thanks Lisa. You have no idea how hard it was to get these on a constantly moving boat.
Excellent, and Melville too!
Well, one can’t have a whale without Melville
Fabulous photos, Emily. I especially love the first one. 🙂
Thank you so much. It was so very hard to photograph in this scenario. I’m just happy that some came out in focus. 🙂
Beautiful – it’s wonderful to see these elegant creatures.
It is truly magical Mary. I have to admit, two of the humpback whales was mother and child. The child was 6 months old and already had a huge gash behind his fin from a lobster trap line. It was so sad to see, but it is managing to recover from the injury.
