Photographer’s Note
A bit uncommon picture in my gallery, a whale's tale.
I was on the Lofoten last holidays, which are a group of islands in the northern part of Norway. We drove up to the Vesteralen, also a group of Islands, but even more nothern.
After driving for long, we came on the most nothern part of the Vesteralen, Andenes. This fishing city is very famous because of it's plendid Whalesafari. I took a safari with my dad. The weather was quit bad, big waves,rain and a strong wind. Many of the people on board were very seasick, which was very horrible. Happily I've got "sealegs", and hadn't have any sickness at all.
After sailing one hour, we came to the first whale, it was a Sperm-whale. He was like an blue Island on sea.
After 2 minutes of taking pictures, the man from the Safari screamed:"Diving". I made myself ready to take this picture, the famous tale of a whale. I did a little contrast post-processing to get this one like it was how I saw it.

Hi Florian! It's not an easy picture you posted here but I guess to see this whale was a great moment for you.
Your note rembember me also my terrible crossing from Bodø to Moskenes where I was sick on the ferry due to the heavy sea!
About the picture, it's not a high quality but it is an exceptional one which was taken with hard conditions. Reason why I give you 2 points!

Een heel imposant beeld. Volgens mij ben je een gelukkig mens als je dit ziet en er ook nog een mooie herinnering van meeneemt. Jammer, dat hij niet helemaal scherp is
