Another great post @thomasjmitchell!, thanks a lot for the information, beautiful photography, again, and for allowing me to recall multiple experiences relating to the famous cetacean.

As I lived on Haida Gwaii, in the Northwest Pacific Ocean, at the very southern tip of the Alaskan Pan-Handle, I often had the blessings of sharing time with them. Of the most memorable images is the one where I was talking with a Haida Watchmen, at Hot Springs Island, describing to him how we had just seen a group of males breaching one after another, about 40 times over the course of the passing, about 20 minutes, and, far behind him, in the bay, two humpbacks came facing each other jousting style and jumped all the way out at the very last moment, together, raising in the air in a perfect parallel flight all the way to the apex of their jump and, as they turned and fell back in the waters, the spray they carried out of the ocean formed a heart in the air that fell with them! My jaw dropped, the moment fleeting, I gasped and let him finish his story fully unaware of what had just happened.

Namaste :)
