entry description
On one lucky day in the Northern Norway we met a fishing boat with the broken net lifting mechanism. And that net was full of herring! Orcas and humpback whales, who came attracted by the tasty smell, were so close to us, that we could photograph them at the shortest distance. But suddenly large male orca came up from the deep and gently took a small herring with the huge teeth - I managed to capture that moment.back to gallery
