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.

A drone image shows orcas attacking a great white shark in Mossel Bay, South Africa. When carcasses of sharks began washing up on the western Cape, marine biologists were baffled – until they realised that killer whales with a taste for liver were the culprits.

Natural solutions are needed in this #RussianWarOnInfrastructure.

Maybe, the #orcas could be retrained? ;)

Anyhow: in a war of attrition, the #KremlinRegime will find it difficult to replace a naval vessel filled with boycotted high-tech chips. ;)
The West urgently needs to find an untraceable way to sink such war ships. Reconnaissance in the face of repeated attacks on infrastructure makes them legit targets.

The female killer whale J35 in Puget Sound, Washington, US, with her calf J61, who was born in December but died shortly afterwards. This is the same whale who, in 2018, swam more than 1,000 miles (1,600km), pushing the body of her dead newborn in an apparent show of grief.

"For Tahlequah" teableau for 01/05/24

There was jubilation in my neighborhood when we saw she had a new baby, and devastation when it died. We feel her grief like a physical pain. Southern Resident orcas are critically endangered, currently numbering only 73.

A tea tableau in sympathy with the Orca known as Tahlequah whose newborn calf has died and for which she visibly grieves. On a wavy field of blue is a killer whale figurine surrounded by a handmade mug with an orca design, a cozy cover with an ocean scene including orcas, Depression glass creamer and sugar bowl, a glass sugar spoon shaped like a seashell, a thimble with Forget- Me- Not flowers painted on it, and Northwest Breakfast black tea from Market Spice in Seattle.

2/ More than 300,000 ferry sailings traveled the Salish Sea in 2018, while 6,330 cargo, container and passenger vessels and 1,134 oil tankers and barge tows also entered Washington waters. Much of that traffic is headed to the Port of Vancouver, the biggest port by cargo tonnage on the West Coast. #orcas
