This past weekend I went dolphin watching off the coast of Ilan, which is in east Taiwan. Our boat first did a lap around Turtle Island, then continued east, where a fleet of tour boats were looking for dolphins.

These fuckers were really tough to shoot - they move about really quick, and I ended up at the ship's bow, which was bouncy bouncy bouncy. The ship's rear was more stable - but that's where all the sick people were vomiting, so that was a no go.

Wow...some great shots there.

The second one I can see as a print on the wall. Just trim the top and bottom so you have a short but wide frame. Very nice.

Well done BN!

So Yilan's nice then? I've heard good things, but never gone out there myself.

thank you thank you
hopefully I'll get some time tonight to photoshop a bit - too tired to deal with that last night.

Ilan was nice ... great scenery, a nice change from Taipei, and only an hour away.

Do you eat seafood? That's about the best thing about the place, unless you are satisfied visiting crowded, touristy nature spots.

Mmm, no, I'm vegetarian. Oh well, I'll probably go anyway sooner or later.

That glen in the 3rd picture looks like one of those misty places in a Kung Fu movie. Nice job.

dolphin?

Elspode · 10-17-2006, 01:42 PM

There's a land dolphin in there somewhere...

Hey...aren't those actually sharks?

xoxoxoBruce · 10-17-2006, 05:44 PM

Chinese Sharks and Dolphins are inscrutable.

Hey, no one here wants to have sex with them, anyway.
