IMAGINE

(click picture to enlarge)

A friend had shown me this article. Not sure how long ago it happened. Quite amazing though.

The photo was taken at the entrance to Katlian Bay at the end of the road in Sitka, Alaska. The whale is coming up to scoop up a mouthful of herring (the small fish seen at the surface around the kayak). The kayaker is a local Sitka Dentist. No injuries have come out of the experience.

Word from the dentist himself:
Yep, that is me in the picture. Yep that is a whale that was just around the corner from the ferry terminal. "Paddle really fast" is the only thing I could think of at the time.. Also thinking that I don't look like a herring, don't smell like a herring but with the same herring instinct of "get out of the way of that big mouth!!" Still living to tell yet another story..
