Zen and the Art of Wildlife: Gray Whales

Our first installment in the Zen Wednesday series had some fantastic footage of wildlife in Olympic National Park thanks to Contributor Kevin Freeny. In today's featured video we change gears a little and move down to Depoe Bay, Oregon, for some surprisingly close encounters with Gray Whales. Contributor Erik Urdahl captures the grace and power of these sea giants along with the almost overwhelming effect they have on the people watching them. It's a great moment; the sense amazement is palpable, and it is a fitting testament to the size and nearness of the whales themselves.
