a close encounter...

This species of dolphin has to be my new favourite, its the orca, also known as the killer whale sometimes due to its size, however its actually the worlds largest dolphin. This was a magic moment where we watched as two bull orcas steamed along at the surface of the water in Kaikoura. My boss Dennis Buurman managed to capture the moment on camera. My friend Ed also managed to get some underwater footage on the works GoPro. The orca decided to swim right below our dinghy, the water visibility was amazing and we watched as it decided to roll just below the surface onto its side and then back, it was simply awesome, a moment i will never forget. Knowing that they are completely wild and doing their own thing made the moment even more special! we're just pointing in its direction incase you couldnt see it! haha the picture was for thed olphin encounter website hehe. ilovemylife :-)
