Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock for the past 24 hours, you’ve mostly likely heard all about the Sea World fiasco. It took over the news stations here in Orlando for hours and I admit, I was glued to the tv. Mainly because I have a friend/acquaintance that is one of the female whale trainers and for a few hours I had no idea if she was the woman killed.
Thankfully, she is alright. Sadly, a life was still lost and it turned out to be her friend and fellow trainer, Dawn Brancheau.
Late last night I remembered I have an entire folder of Sea World photos on my desktop from my visit last year. I went through them all and then picked out a few of my favorites to share (though I don’t believe any of these are of Dawn).
Whether or not you agree with having whales in captivity, you have to admit, they are magnificent creatures to behold.

hi, i live under a rock.
i never heard anything about sea world in the last 24 hours.
I will have a look and see what I find out about it.
Away from the right and wrong of it…is the beauty of “beast” and man coming together in a harmonious relationship is amazing. as i was typing that i thought that is what heaven will be like…swimming with orcas and other predators :)
this news made me so sad. it broke my heart. these images are fantastic. seeing the whales is one of my most favorite memories as a child…back then all the whales that were in captivity were rescued in one way or another, i am not sure if this is the case any more but all the same being able to see two completely different creations coexisting was amazing. it supported the idea that all things are possible in me as a child.
Beautiful pictures, Megan.
Beautiful pictures. I am a die hard nature lover. Animals from the sea are just amazing. I really love the shots you got. I of course was sad to hear about the death of the young lady but not surprised. Animals are animals and they have instincts. I just wish it didn’t happen. Thanks for sharing your pics with us :o)
Meg, I have many friends that work in at Sea World and the news was very disturbing to me. Thanks for sharing your beautiful photos. They have giving me a sense of comfort.
Stunning pictures!
