Killer whales - Spekkhoggere

Yesterday, several pods of killer whales / orcas (Orcinus orca) were feeding on fish off the coast of Andøya in Vesterålen in Northern Norway. With rather strong wind and grey clouds hanging thick over the ocean, the experience itself was just like the killer whales - Majestetic and in Black and White.

  2. @ Espen: Må innrømme at Andøya ER en flott plass, selv om jeg mest sett øya fra sjøen i år :)
