Sunday Stills: Night Shots

I don’t have that many night shots as I seem to be home then, or I’ve  left the camera home when I am.  Maybe I should do something about it… These shots I found from  Las Vegas  as it is all about nightlife and lights.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Unexpected

We saw this wonderful sight at the coast of Sri Lanka. One rarely gets to see a blue whale so close. We were told to be quiet  and having listened to the captains orders;  the whale came to check out our boat.  It swam around and under our boat, so we were able to see it up and close –  It was impressive!
