Ending my August under the dance of the Northern Lights, lake, and the majesty of Mount Shuksan—a moment where the sky, water, and peaks become one, painting the night with nature’s magic! ❤️💙💜💚
Thanks @quocktran and @swopnils for doing this with me!

Ring of Fire at Seattle 💍🔥.
Turn out cloudy day is not too bad for solar eclipse as it helps to shield the brightness of the Sun!

While I was trying to take a nap, the ship captain announced, “Attention, attention — there is a pod of orcas at the 1 o’clock direction from the ship.” That got me fully awake. I jumped out of bed to witness these magnificent creatures — black and white and impossibly large, moving like they owned every mile of water beneath us. No words for what it does to your chest when something that wild chooses to surface beside you. Another great day in Antarctica!
Specific to orcas in Antarctica, there is a layer of greenish or yellowish tint on their skin, especially visible on their saddle patch and eye patches — a thin film of algae coating the surface. These algae accumulate on the orcas’ skin after extended time in the freezing Antarctic waters.
Scroll to the last pic to see a “spider web” pattern on one of the orca’s saddle patch!

Hundreds of white ceramic cats, all raising the same paw. No sound. No wind. Just an army of fortune, frozen mid-beckon — waiting for you to believe. 🐾⛩️

Southern Hemisphere humpback whales frequently feature striking white underbellies, flanks, and pectoral fins, contrasting with their dark backs.
This pigmentation is often passed from mother to daughter.
