Humpback Whale Backflip - Puerto Lopez, Ecuador
© August 13 2009, Uncornered Market

A young humpback whale (our guide told us 3 months old) does a flip out of the water near our boat off of Puerto Lopez, Ecuador. Whale season is in July-August in this area and it's amazing how close the whales will get to the boat. Incredible creatures.

uncorneredmarket @gordontour: this time of year, it's pretty typical to see whales and possibly, quite a few of them. As for catching something like this, it's a function of good fortune and timing. Posted: August 18 2009
