Photograph by @paulnicklen for @natgeo. A humpback whale lunge feeds in Monterey Bay, California. They use the oceans surface as a net, forcing herring against this layer and then burst through surface tension, mouth agape, filling their cavernous mouths with thousands of anchovies. Please #follow me on @paulnicklen to see an image of looking into the open mouth of a humpback whale. It is a perspective I have always dreamed of photographing. With@sealegacy @cristinamittermeier and @toddwells92. #teamwork. Thanks @go_whales for taking such good care of me. I will never forget this time with the whales #whale #smile #love #beauty #nature #warmwater #globalwarming #climatechange #gratitude #adventure #explore by natgeo
