Blue Whale (Farallon Islands)

This shot comes from a boat trip from earlier this year to the Farallon Islands. It has taken sometime to post pictures from this adventure. This amazing blue whale (which we found out is very rare to see) came along side the boat early in the trip and gave us all a show.

Farallon Islands are an amazing piece of land that lives 26 miles off the shore of San Francisco (Click on this link to learn more Farallon Islands). When on land 26 miles does not seam like much, but when you are on the open ocean and you do not see land in any direction while on a 30 person boat it is another story. All I can say is bring some dramamine, and to quote the captain "Look at the Horizon."
