Humpback celebration

Spent more time out in the Clover Pass area and came upon what appeared to be a humpback celebration.  There were approximately 11 whales in the general area.  The whales were breaching, tail slapping, and slapping their pectoral fins.  The grand finale came when one of the whales breached approximately 150 yards away from our boat right at sunset.  It was a particularly beautiful sunset, and we watched in awe as the whale flew through the air with golden water pouring down its body.  We missed getting a photo of it, but it will be a moment we will never forget.  

We also saw a small pod of Dall's porpoise.   

Photographs were taken with a 600mm lens.
