This was my first experience observing humpback whales 🐋. I encountered 6 very friendly humpback whales (all recognized and identified) alongside a pod of about 40 dolphins, approximately 6 miles from Boston harbor.
I thought this subreddit might enjoy this whale sculpture in Salt Lake City, Utah that’s been a local obsession since it was installed in 2022. Every few years a new artists paints the whale and there was an event today to celebrate the second design. There were food trucks, a costume contest, vendors, and other fun activities.
Local residents playfully say, “All hail the whale” and ask the whale to bring lots of rain and snow.
The first photo is the new design and the second photo is the original design. The woman standing on stage in the first photo is the artist, Jiyoun Lee-Lodge. Stephen Kessler was the original artist.
Check it out I got a picture of this wooden sperm whale that is located in the kitchen in the family dwelling house in Myrtle Beach. However it looks like a sperm whale and it's a wood carving that is made of wood.
