Whale, Oh Whale! A Family Affair in the Arctic Waters of Norway
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print captured by Tom Walmsley, we witness an extraordinary moment shared between a killer whale mother and her calf. The stunning backdrop of Tysfjord, Norway sets the stage for this heartwarming display of family bonding. As if posing for a portrait, these majestic creatures engage in a behavior known as spy-hopping - popping their heads above water to observe their surroundings. With the snow-covered coastline serving as their audience, it's hard not to be enchanted by this incredible sight. The young calf mimics its mother's every move with sheer innocence and curiosity. It's almost as if they're playing a game of copycat in the chilly waters of the Norwegian Arctic. Their synchronized actions showcase not only their strong familial bond but also highlight the intelligence and social nature of these remarkable marine beings. This image is a testament to the beauty that lies beneath our coastal waters. It reminds us that even in freezing temperatures, life thrives and families flourish. So next time you find yourself gazing out at sea, remember this magical encounter between two generations of orcas - forever etched into our hearts through Tom Walmsley's lens.
