Yes, Captain Ahab hunted whales a long time ago. And no, us Navy Sailors do not hunt whales. But if I was in one of these little boats where Bill Bouton took this picture in San Luis Obispo, I would be nerrrrr-voussssss:
Bill Bouton took this photo in San Luis Obispo of a humpback whale.
Yeah…that’s a little too close for comfort.
I got here by way of Theo’s. Great pic! Yikes!
Maybe, but the photos don’t look real to me….I can’t imagine anyone being that close to such a phenomenon….k
Lauren: Way too close.
Dr. Mercury: Welcome aboard, Doc. And Yikes is right!
Kris: I know, but they are. Real.
There is a girl on a paddle board and one in a kayak! Good grief!
I know what you mean…with all those gulls flying around. I watch Hitchcock movies, too.
And…is that girl in the black dress standing on a surf board or walking on water or what? In a dress???
The girl on the board is in front of a second paddler on the kayak behind her. She’s wearing a shorty wetsuit, not a dress.
And the picture was taken with a long telephoto lens, which compresses perspective, making everything look closer than they are to each other.
Looks like a fun day.
“You’re gonna need a bigger boat!”
I’ve never seen a shorty wetsuit with spaghetti straps and a hemline! Pretty classy – and somewhat ditzy.
That’s what makes me feel it’s a photoshop effort…it looks like a cartoon….sorry, the appearance of it doesn’t seem to reflect a real photograph….a telephoto lens makes it look like that? I find that virtually impossible to believe…
That’s what I thought, too.
San Luis Obispo is 13 miles inland from Morro Bay, the closest water that could be accessed by a whale. More info please on the origin of this picture. Perhaps it is Avila Beach on San Luis Obispo Bay near Pismo Beach.
Folks- Some interesting observations. For more info on the photo go to the link. . .
