Whale tail II

One of the highlights of our New Zealand holiday was a whalewatching trip at Kaikoura. The boat was completely booked, the weather for change stunning, cold, but no wind and sun. We had been warned that it could get rough, but we were the lucky ones. We sighted three whales and each dive was great. The tail rises above the sea and the whale quickly dives back to the depths. At that very moment all the cameras clicked and clicked until only a last wrinkle was left in the waves.
