(Surfrider Foundation) - A photographer driving along the
coast in California pulled over and managed to capture some unbelievable shots
of a humpback whale rising from the water as stunned spectators looked on just
a few feet away. Retiree Bill Bouton was driving in San Luis Obispo, California
on Saturday when he glanced over at the coast to see a group of the massive
mammals feeding in the shallow waters, which has been occurring occasionally in
the area over the past few days. The 69-year-old managed to pull his car over
and set up his camera tripod near the water’s edge to capture breathtaking
snapshots of the event. Boaters and kayakers in the waters had cameras of their
own poised to take pictures, fearlessly advancing toward the hungry animals,
which measure from 39–52 ft in length with an average weight of around 79,000
lbs.
