2007 Aerial Blue Whales

Blue Whales are shown here from above to get a totally different vantage point of these magnificent animals. This angle to me shows how truly amazing and large these animals really are, I hope you enjoy these!! These photos were all taken on September 7th 2007. Thanks to a great pilot Guy de Gramont. These animals were all in the Santa Barbara Channel just south of the California coastline.
