The breath of a Humpback whale per online sources is said to emerge at a speed of 300 miles per hour. In contrast a human sneeze is reportedly only one hundred miles per hour. Breathing in whales is more conscious because their respiratory and digestive systems are not connected. Taking a breath is a conscious effort. They apparently do not exhale carbon dioxide as we do but sequester it in their massive bodies. See: also The Science of Whale Snot

Paul, this whale does bear some resemblance to a submarine using her 'snorkel'. In fact, I have to say the opposite because the hull of a submarine resembles the shape of a whale.
Great capture again!

If you think you can't accept something, try to change it. But if this doesn't work, don't be frustrated, but give it later another try. The one who perseveres wins! Please CLICK HERE to see my journal! Feel free to save my images or to add them to your favorites.

While a few of your other whale photos required some study to determine what anatomical part we were looking at, this one is unmistakable, pretty much blows me over. ;oP Definitely saved and faved, Paul.
