Whale RainBlow (Oceanside Adventures)

OCEANSIDE, CA — Oceanside Adventures caught this incredible photo of a southbound gray whale on its migration with a "rainblow". When the sunlight reflects off the whale's vapor plumes at just the right angle we get to see these cool images.

Oceanside Adventures offers year-round whale and dolphin tours. Currently, the gray whales are migrating from December through April. We also see Fin whales and minke whales year-round. In summertime, we see the humpbacks and blue whales and we have 4 species of dolphins, so there is always something to see no matter what time of the year you go.

Thanks for sharing!
