This is a beach shot at Homer, Alaska. I hope those are dry suits they're wearing.

Crazy to go out in that cold water. I like the balance in your composition, one center, one left, one right.

Thanks, these folks are not exactly well balance.

Aw, even up there, the seawater temps can be tolerated when properly dressed. It's a virtual certainty they are in drysuits, with sufficient insulated undergarments for the temp. There are folks out there fishing from kayaks and even diving (as tides and currents allow) with that kind of gear. I have dove in our southern waters when the water temp was about 45-48F, and I was nice and warm with minimal 'stuff' under my drysuit. These guys would just have thicker undergarments.

I never knew being unbalanced was a requirement, but I'd say I might possibly maybe could check that box off...

Looks like it might be cold. I took a motorcycle trip up past Homer, but that was in Sept.

I think a breaching Whale would be like hitting a wall.....or an Orca Pod...out and about would make me a little uneasy out in those open waters. Gotta love adventure though. Balance....the ups and downs of risk vs living the moment. Nice shot of adventure on the high seas.
