Alaska - One In A Billion Photo...

The photo was taken at the entrance to Katlian Bay at the end of the road in Sitka , Alaska ... 
The whale is coming up to scoop up a mouthful of herring......... (the small fish seen  at the surface around the kayak). The kayak-er is a local Sitka Dentist. He apparently didn't sustain any injuries from the terrifying experience. The whale was just around the corner from the ferry terminal, and all the kayak-er could think at that moment in time was: "Paddle Man - really fast!"
The whale's mouth is fully open with the bottom half under the boat. If the whale had closed his mouth before he furiously paddled away - He might have been LUNCH!!! Look at the picture again - He is in the whale’s MOUTH!
