If you want to know true majesty,
Seek out these giants of the sea.
I am tall at six foot four,
But he swamps me, four score or more.
Unassuming, gentle giants,
These creatures are a gift to science.
I could watch for hours and hours,
My affection for them never sours.
They move with ease and awesome grace,
The water seems to hold them in a close embrace.
And marvel how something of such size,
Can somehow just materialise.
Gentle Giants

and how small the person in the picture looks. Great picture and thought. I would love to see one of these in the open sea.
They are beautiful creatures aren’t they? Their size is astonishing!
The Osaka Aquarium in Japan is famous for having two of them, but like Chef, I’d love to see them in the wild. 🙂
It would be wonderful wouldn’t it Alex?
