THE DAILY WHALE #002

Bringing the terrestrial and marine worlds together in one image is something I like to do... it's always a challenge, even in the shallow, sheltered waters of a coral lagoon.

So in deep open water - even on a calm day - the wind, surface chop and 30 tonnes of whale can sure add to that challenge.
