Banderas Bay, Mexico
They're not the biggest whales in the world -- that would be the blue whales, which reach 100 feet -- but they're still pretty damned awesome. (40 feet -- though size isn't everything.)
I understand now why they call them Humpbacks. Also how sea-monster mythology came about. When they surface and dive in groups like this, it looks like one long undulating serpent.
Spectacular. I've always wanted to see whales, and now I have. Kill me now!
(That first one's a juvenile -- about a year old and probably 16 feet or so. He's hanging out with two adults.)
