“A Whale Of A Tail”. September 2011 was a GREAT month for whales! We spent 3 wonderful days out on the water watching the whales bubble feed! This photo was taken at the mouth of Clover Passage, looking across Clarence Strait, just outside of Ketchikan, Alaska. Location: Clover Passage, Ketchikan, Alaska.
