Reflections of a Gentle Giant

At certain times of the year , mainly in January until April, whale sharks come to feed and mate in the bay of La Paz some times in quite large numbers. Snorkelling with these harmless giants is strictly controlled and limit numbers and times are allowed to be with them whilst they swim around with their mouths open feeding. This day it was flat calm and I noticed the whale shark in front of me was perfectly reflected in the glass like surface .
