Louise Ingram, Whale of a Time (ANIMAL & NATURE 2025)

These images were captured in Hervey Bay August 2024. It was challenging as the sea was a little rough. The whales seemed to enjoy it though with an abundance of breaching, pectoral slapping and spy-hopping. Their spectacular displays of power and communication always takes my breath away.....they are indeed beautiful, magnificent mammals.
