David Attenborough - Best footage evar

[gemfyre]

It still makes my heart swell and gets me teary eyed.

And the massive beast surfaces beside his tiny boat.

Awesome, awesome, awesome.

I was in the fourth row, and I asked a question... and he answered! I must dig up the photos and scan them in. They're a bit blurry, because of all the arm waving :-)
