Wow! I love your collages Piper :)
Beautiful pictures there :D
Woww!
Born Free ... like it :) :)
He is such a majestic sight, isn't he? Yes, he was born free, and it makes me wonder what they go through everytime they perform for the crowds..
Wow ! Awesome ..
Fabulous!!
Aren't we all born free .. only to grow up to perform and gain accolades ???
Wow, majestic!
Dear All:
Thank you so much, People! The show 'believe' by Shamu and the other killer whales was the most splendid show I`ve ever seen! 'Majestic' (like all of you said) is the right word!
Oh that caption of yours...the last line.. was so beautiful. Makes me feel so sad too!!
I don't feel good about making animals perform for us, because it isn't necessary.
We have so much more entertainment today, we really don't need to subject an animal to this...
I could have sworn i left a comment on this... I haev the fondest memories from a Sea World trip... these pictures are a refresher....
Also.... there is a photography contest and a giveaway I will be having on my blog... You'd love it.. And I am sure win the photography contes.t... new post will be up shortly!
Pal: For about 2 hours right from the opening hours at 10am to the Shamu show at noon, I was standing by an enclosed pool and watching the whales being trained. I have some good pictures of that too. But it killed me, Pal. It made me sadder than I have been in years. Also the fact that I was there alone (with The G away at a conference) pbly played a part too.
IHM: I whole heartedly agree and hence the caption. It makes me immensely sad and I`ve stopped going for animal shows or to the zoo etc. But I cannot deny how spectacular this show was! That made me even sadder actually!
GNSD: I was at Sea World alone while The G was away at a conference at the UCSD. So even though I thoroughly enjoyed the show, the overall experience left me sad somehow..:(
I`m waiting for the contest!!!! :):) Put it up soon!!!
great
like the word
he was born free
excellent said it all
Watching them somehow makes me feel claustrophobic. Zoomed in and looked....he is sooo huge isnt he. Just imagining him living in a small water body[he cd be living in a 5 kms wide pool but even then] instead of the ocean makes me want to claw at the walls.
sm: thanks!
Reflections: Hey Nancy,I felt the same way too! Imagine living in a bath tub with a million people watching you everyday! I wonder if whales have a heart?? :)
