On a flight aboard "Maggie", the last DeHavilland Beaver ever built and faithfully restored by Kenmore Air for service out of Lake Union to the San Juan Islands, I took this picture of Orca's breaching the surface while on final to Roche Harbor. Definitely a dorsal difference from Dall's, but for the uninitiated, the difference isn't black & white...

Here's a picture of Maggie departing after our flight. She was a fun girl and I have fond memories, but she had a drinking problem...

From the freshly refit flybridge of "Lady Sharon Gale", a 111' Broward with a new retractable hardtop, this is yachting's version of the Denny's Grand Slam known as "Moon Over MiaHami"...
Ok, am I seeing something "off" about this pic? If you look at the bottom of the photo where the front of the super structure meets the bottom edge of the photo, there is a cloud interrupting the line of the boat, like it's over it.
If I recall, that Christensen pic was taken by Neil R. who often P-Shops backgrounds into images. Check out the review of Sycara IV. ALL of the horizon-thru-window shots were digitally dropped in. Here's an example... ***
