……More whales in Tonga

beautiful-curves-mother-and-calf-in-Tonga

…well… it seems like for the past six weeks I have been living out of my suitcase… an amazing journey to Tonga, then 2 residential courses to continue my learning on Ka Huna bodywork and massage – more of this exciting news in a few posts time 🙂 ; but for now I would like to share with you a few more photographs of the whales in Tonga.

After my epiphany and recognition about being humble.. and realising how truly special it was to have the whales choose to stay and let us swim alongside them – I had a much deeper sense of gratitude.

Here are some more photographs of these increadibly beautiful and HUGE mammals. have a look at the ones where Darren is dwarfed by them – when he is in the bottom left corner of the frame. They are HUGE!!!!   Enjoy!

About the Author: Julie
I am a Journeywoman. I live my life as an explorer. An adventurer. An Observer. An Artist. There is no differentiation between how I live my life and the art that is an expression of it. It is through my experience adventuring the unknown, that I learn more about myself. My aim through this connection is to live where my expression is fully in alignment with the essence of who I am. “In the field of Fine-Art Photography, Julie stands apart from others with the way she sees the world and expresses her connection within it. Julie Stephenson’s photographs are sublime. Her work is an expression of her deep connection; and a gift to the world.”
