A whale in Camps Bay

Besides for the calm ocean and the blue sky with it's pretty clouds, what you see, not too far from shore, is a whale relaxing just off Camps Bay beach.

I've never seen a whale in off Camps Bay beach before - not that they don't enter the larger Table Bay area - but they're just more prolific on the False Bay side of the peninsula where the water's just that little bit warmer. I spent a long time watching this one roll about in the water until I finally got bored waiting for the perfect breach, or tail fin.

Sorry about that. :)
