We have an Artist here, named Wyland, who is a favourite of mine. He has been traveling the US, and some other countries, including, I think, Australia, painting murals. His subject matter is marine life -- frequently Whales.

Here is a link to an index of all of his "whaling walls":

There is a particularly beautiful one in Wildwood, NJ, that I have seen many times.

All the best,

Tom

Hi Tom, many thanks for that, what a great web site and some fantastic murals. They are so life like. Nice to know that he comes here to paint. Cheers,
David.

I went whale watching in Kaikoura it was awesome.

David,

I saw a gray whale off the coast of Maine. It was an almost spiritual event. Even my late wife appreciated it, although she was quite seasick.

Are you familiar with D.H. Lawrence's "Whales Weep Not"?

http://www.kalliope.org/digt.pl?longdid=lawrence2001061770

I would have posted the poem, but perhaps it's a little too risque for mixed company, even though it's about whales, and not people.

To my mind, it's culture, but in America, closed-mindedness about some things is the prevailing attitude these days.

All the best,

Tom

Tom, a great poem, thanks for that. Having a whale watching you out of one of it's eyes, 8) I'll leave you to think about it. :lol:
