Humpback Whales

These photos were taken some weeks ago during a trip to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. At the end of Chain of Craters Drive near the coast, this cow and calf were just offshore. I have heard some opinions that this "tail bashing" is either to communicate with the calf...or to ward off would-be threats. In any event, it was quite a show!
