Ocean’s Birthplace

I’ve been blogging and speaking about Ocean and wanted to share the birthplace of Ocean with you.  Ocean was born in the beautiful waters off the Alaskan coast.

The middle two images were shot from my suite at sea.  For me, it was very relaxing to sit and hear the sounds of the ocean and view the breath taking scenery while writing the code for Ocean.

When we got in port, we took the time to do the normal cruise thing which is to go on excursions.

Humpback Whales Bubble Net Feeding

On our whale watching excursion we were very lucky to view humpback whales bubble net feeding.  I was able to capture this spectacular event of nature 4 times.  The whales just keep repeating the tactic for feeding themselves.  Thought I would share the first episode with you.

Ocean’s Birthplace

Yes, that is Karl’s 24″ monitor in my suite.  After viewing the glacier on deck, I returned to my serene environment to work on Ocean.  Stress free and chilled out really turns out some cool and innovative code and it’s way better than therapy or medication (LOL).

Have a great day,

Just a grain of sand on the worlds beaches.
