Winter Humpback Whales

A couple of humpback whales, Seward, Alaska.

A couple of humpback whales, Seward, Alaska.

This was captured just a few minutes ago – as two humpback whales swam out in front of our home / office!  I sure live in a great place!

I have often heard it said that humpback whales will summer in Alaska and winter in Hawaii, but there is a fair number of humpbacks that remain in Alaska all year.

Nice capture and yes you can do it from your front door.

Thanks Dennis.

That’s awesome, Ron! Its a gorgeous scene, and I really like the high-end exposure. And needless to say, I’m quite jealous of the view you have from home — WOW!

Awesome Ron! I like my mountains ‘up north’, but you win on the availability of whales:D

Those whales need to get with the program and go to Hawaii during the winter. I have no idea what they are trying to prove. ;-)

Thanks everyone!

@ Jon – wow, a comment all the way from South America!

@ Pat thanks – this was straight into the sun.

@ David Yes, fortunately we have nice mountains and whales! Hope your wisdom teeth are doing better.

That’s what I love with being able to work on the road, your office view changes every few days, lovely photo!

Gorgeous. I hope they’re around tomorrow!

I doubt I’d get much work done if that was my view.

Highly impressive photos of beautiful natural views. Very beautiful nature and creative works. Most of all I like the photo, where orange skies, mountains and see are perfectly combined in a single whole. Awesome work, thanks!

@ Scott – sometimes I don’t!

Thanks Arnold!
