Back From Ogasawara

I just got back from Ogasawara, where I was fortunate enough to spend some more time with sperm whales.

I'm not sure how much I'll be able to write about the trip before I take off again in a few days, but here's a sample image, taken during an encounter with a particularly inquisitive whale:
