Awesome pictures sir! That was very cool to see, and I consider you a lucky SOB to have enjoyed such a trip. My wife and I went to Alaska last year and I remember seeing Orcas, and Fin Whales, and Grizzlies, and so on and I remember the feeling of seeing them was incredible. We talked of then, and dream still, of visiting Africa one day.
To most people these animals exist only on the Discovery channel. It's almost surprising to see that they are really out there, roaming the planet, free as birds. It's cool that you got to see them in their natural habitats, doing what they do. Thanks for sharing.
