Humpback Whale Breach, Juneau, Alaska #3009

Jun 14, 2017

What a Show!  A humpback whale breaches in front of an Allen Marine catamaran along the shores of Shelter Island.  I shot this photo from another Allen Marine cat on Tuesday evening. This single whale put on a show for quite a long while. We lost count of the breaches and fluke dives, and also saw tail lobbing and pectoral fin slapping.  Thank you Allen Marine for a great tour! Thank you for visiting, enjoy – Camera: Nikon D800, Lens: Nikkor 70-200mm, Digital Capture, hand held ©Mark Kelley
