A mother and her calf resting near the surface on a beautiful sunny day.

This whale was very serene about our presence, and we were able to stay quite a while with them. The fact that this mother didn't position herself between us and her calf shows that she was quite comfortable and trustful.

I wanted to try something a bit different that time, a way to show both worlds at the same time, with what is called a split shot.

These are always tricky to pull off. Ideally you'd need some very still water (that you don't have out there in the high sea), but I managed to get this image that I love.

To me, it shows that our worlds are really connected and depends upon each other.
