Some whale #linocut prints for #WorldWhaleDay! I’ve had the great privilege of seeing humpbacks and orcas (and other species) when working at sea. They seem as curious about us as we are of them.

I would love to see the blue whale and narwhals, in my other prints, too.

I hope we always live in a world where whales can thrive.

My linocut in silver on white washi paper of a pod of narwhals. There are two large ones near the top crossed like an x, each head up, and three smaller ones below pointed towards the upper left, lower right and one going into the plane of the image with a horizontal line at the top, marking the surface of the water.
My linocut orca whale is leaping out of the water leaving a trail of splashed droplets of water from the sea surface. It’s printed in black on white paper.
My square 8” x 8” print on white washi paper. The upper two thirds are printed as a deep blue-green rectangle with missing unprinted white silhouette of a humpback whale now filled with a linocut print of the humpback in dark blue-grey. The tip of its mouth and tail extend into the white margin space. The bottom third is a grey rectangle with the missing silhouettes of 6 barnacles unprinted in white now filled with linocut C. diadema barnacles with silver striations and orange centres with opercular valves.

#Humpbackwhale swallows & then spits out kayaker in the seas off the coast of southern #Chile.

Luckily, the kayaker, Adrian Simancas came out unscathed despite being fully enclosed inside the whale's mouth.

"I thought I was done for, that I was dead. It was like three strange seconds down there," he said after the incident.

😂The whale must have thought, “Too much chilli!”😆

Up close and personal vol 3.

This photo is from my next film "Face to Face with Orcas" broadcast in March. It is a hunting image during a feeding of about thirty orcas and two humpback whales in Norway in January last year. You can see on the pic my friend Rodolphe Guignard who is the protagonist of my film. The water temperature was about 3 degrees celsius (37 Fahrenheit) and choppy, choppy, choppy :-)

How I took this photo ? First, It was damn cold and I've been lucky. Canon R5 Sigma 20 mm Art f1,4 1/100e f2,8 Iso 8000 Raw Manual

It's a photo of a Humpback Whale diving to feed with a free diver very, very close to her. The pic was taken in Norway, in cold water during winter time.

Humpback Whale (Mojö Sealife by Mojö Fun)

Although the blue whale is the largest of all baleen whales it seems that the humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) is the most popular, but maybe that’s just my personal assumption after seeing it plastered all over Christian Lassen school supplies in the 90’s. The toy market seems to back up my claim though, with Toy Animal Wiki cataloging several more humpback figures than blue […]

For #ArtAdventCalendar day 3 my final hand-printed lino block print with gel plate printed areas is about Coronula diadema, a barnacle which specializes in humpback and some other baleen whales for #InsertAnInvert2024. Each print is 20.3 cm x 20.3 cm (8” x 8”) on lovely Japanese mulberry paper and shows the humpback whale swimming above and a close up of the whale below with six barnacles. 🧵1/3

We all know Australia's beloved white whale, Migaloo, but have you seen the beautiful white humpback whale calf recently discovered in Vava'u, Tonga?

Marine biologist Alice Forrest captured these beautiful shots of the calf when working as a trip leader at Swimming With Gentle Giants – taking people to swim with humpback whales and teaching them about whales, citizen science and conservation.

"Every baby whale I'm lucky enough to see is incredible and exciting, but a sighting like this is once in a lifetime," Alice says. "This is the first white calf ever recorded in Tonga – white whales like this are thought to occur only once in every 40,000 individuals, and there are only a few white whales on our planet!"

#Whale accused of 'mugging' tourists off Aussie coast: 'It's quite rare'.

The boat's captain declared it was one of her top experiences in 10 years of #whalewatching.

A group of tourists were "literally held hostage" by a #humpbackwhale on Friday morning after the curious mammal circled a boat off the #NSW east coast, forcing the captain to do nothing but float due to environmental laws.

For almost an hour, captain and marine biologist Cassie Murray, 31, was forced to simply cut the boat's power supply and watch in awe as the giant whale "hung around" the boat near #Manly in Sydney. However, she said the trip had started like any other.

"We don't use any kind of technology to find the whales, we're just looking with our eyes," the captain from the whale watching company Ocean Extreme told Yahoo News. "We're always looking for the blow, which is the breath of the whale. That's typically how we spot them... then this whale made a turn towards the boat

"It just kind of hung around and circled the boat and #spyhopped, which is when they lift their head up out of the water to take a look around," she said.
