The Beast And I email this discussion to a friend?

Have you ever pictured yourself literally standing or close to a giant animal like elephants, giraffe or hippopotamus?

If you were thrilled by the movie Dances with Wolves by Kevin Costner, I can assure you the extreme thrill when you get close to gigantic animals.

I have experienced going beside elephants but try and picture this swimming in the deep blue ocean with a humpback whale. Having been with land elephants, I just can imagine the awe of an underwater experience with the world's largest mammals. I think the closest I have come was a whale watching experience when I was visiting New Zealand and the sight of it's tail up so close to our boat is just one of the awesome experience.

Now, with this photographer actually getting up close with this mammoth giant is really a feat and I just cannot help remembering my last whale watching expedition.

Have you ever had this awesome experience with a real life giant? What are your thoughts? It is said in the bible that God had actually place men to take care and control all other creatures on earth, yet when I see this picture I am just reminded of our great God who has vested so much in us. What is your take?

I have been to Sea World several times and have seen the killer whales perform. They are so beautiful. I can't imagine how deep their tank is to be able to hold them, or how deep they have to dive to perform. When I was little I saw a whale too while whale watching. The ship we were on had a bottom level with glass on the sides so just seeing the whale swimming was awesome!rolleyes

andalond,

I understand your awe in even an enclosed Sea World Park, but let me assure you that the awe of swimming with these giant mammals in the vast expanse of the Pacific or Atlantic.

Imagine the moment you jumped in, there will be no closest bank or shallow depth visible and the only friend you have is a humpback whale. I cannot help but recall a character in the old testament Jonah who was swallowed by a fish or whale, whilst running away from God's will.

Skysuccess I am sometimes amazed at the depths of the ocean. We went to a museum in Los Angeles that explained how dark the bottom of the ocean could get. It talked about animals that survived at these depths. By the way I would feel panic, I can't swim... lolw00t
