This photo was taken by me and I just can’t get over how perfect it is. I took this when I went Whale Watching with my sister last weekend in Richmond with the Vancouver Whale Watching company there. It was a five and a half hour tour and we saw Killer Whales, Humpback Whales, Dall’s porpoises and Sea Lions. The tickets are $120 for adults and $100 for students, but since I had a 25% off ticket and I’m a student the ticket was only $80. The tour took us through the spectacular Gulf and San Juan Islands which ended up being a long boat ride with only endless ocean for the most part but it’s so beautiful out there. The fresh air and the deep blue sea, it’s magical. I quite enjoyed this trip, maybe not as much as I expected but when you come home with a few spectacular photos it makes everything worthwhile. I am so proud of this photo! In February I’ll be going with my family to Oahu which is one of the Hawaiian islands, we will be staying there for 10days and wandering around parks and such. However, I’m really looking forward to going Whale Watching there, the scenery will be magnificent and I can only imagine a clear blue shade of ocean. I wanna see more Humpback Whales, I wanna see them closer and hear their beautiful melodies. I want to photograph these gentle giants, these beasts of grey and white. Also, when June or July rolls around I’ll be heading back to Richmond with my sister to test out another Whale Watching boat and get more sightings of Killer Whales. I just love being on the ocean, the sea breeze and smell of fresh fish. Whether it’s cloudy as hell or the sun shines over everything embracing a crystal glisten. It’s a magical place to be. Simply magnificent, every single time. I love this fragile province, I love these luxurious little towns, this crisp continent of endless adventure. I just can’t wait to explore the rest of it. People need to open their eyes, open their eyes and drive a few hours to somewhere facing the edges of this madness. Somewhere to breathe, somewhere to escape. The lives we lead are nothing compared to the water flowing all around us, everybody needs to see that.
