@Manuela Photography: It was breeding season so they were with many. Hermanus in know as a good spot to see them right on the coast. You don't have to go on a boat trip at all but you do need a telelens to make decent photos.

Wonderful shot of Whales jumping around and playing! They are a wonderful sight to see! We have them on our coast and some pods live in the inlets. I need to go where I can see them when they are migrating, so many of them to be seen and photographed. I haven't done that yet!
Thank you so much for your comments and visits to my blog - I can't always get around to everyone of you, but your visits are appreciated.

@Anne: Every opportunity I have (on holiday) to see whales I take (and sometimes with unacceptable risks) because these animals amaze me so much. These were taken from the shore, but days before we did a boat trip in another area. The sea was too rough, so no pictures and too much risks to take during pregnancy. I was lucky that nothing happened. Go and see them and be amazed yourself!

Wow, I love shots like this! I saw some whales when I was in NZ a couple of years ago and was deeply moved by the experience. You're so lucky have seen this Yvon. A really great shot.

I went whale watching a couple of years ago in British Columbia, seen some nice Beluga's but nothing quite like this ... lucky you.

Hey there! Sorry I'm so late in commenting on the last of the water series - I seem to have gotten caught up in the cosmic order of events. Wonderful capture here. Whales really are massive aren't they!
