Being surrounded by humpbacks (sometimes up to 20 at a time!) was one of the most magical experiences of the Great Bear Rainforest. Hearing the 'whoooosh' of their breath break the silence in the quiet fjords was both peaceful and prehistoric-like. On this one occasion, the sun caught the mist at just the right angle and produced a vibrant rainbow. Many of nature's most beautiful moments are also the most fleeting. Each a little lesson in awareness, appreciation, and impermanence.
