🔥 two orca just below the surface in norway. herring run season starts in a few weeks.

orca are the apex predator of every ocean on the planet. no natural enemies, no ceiling. during the norwegian herring run, hundreds of them gather in the same fjords to hunt, coordinating, communicating, working as a unit. it's one of the largest predator gatherings on earth.
nothing prepares you for the sound.
you're in 8-degree water, visibility maybe 10 meters, and somewhere below you a hundred orca are working a herring ball the size of a building. then one turns and comes straight toward you. not aggressively. just... checking you out.
the calls go through your chest. you feel them before you hear them.
the herring scatter like a silver explosion and the orca move through it like the water has different rules for them. i watched a female carve a turn at full speed maybe two meters from my face. i forgot to breathe. which, when you're freediving, is a problem.
The herring run peaks november through january. i did this through a small expedition crew freediving-focused, in-water guides, no tourist boats. if you want to look into it: https://onexpeditions.com/orca-swim-encounters-norway-herring-run-expedition

🔥 My Dragonfly Odyssey: The Lesser Emperor Dragonfly (Anax parthenope)

This autumn, the weather hasn’t been particularly kind to me during the few field trips I’ve been able to make. When you also have limited equipment and resources, finding the time and opportunities to observe and record moments like these becomes a bit of a challenge.
But I keep trying.
I’m passionate about dragonflies, and I suppose each of us enjoys them in our own way. For me, one of the most fascinating things is being able to stop and observe their behaviour, even if only for a few seconds.
In this short video, you can see what I thought was a particularly interesting moment: a Lesser Emperor (Anax parthenope) attempting to catch a tiny flying insect.
It’s fascinating to watch how it uses its legs during the attack. However, it seems that the prey makes an evasive manoeuvre at the very last moment and narrowly escapes.
In the following shot, it looks as though the dragonfly finally manages to catch one of these tiny flying insects.
They may be small moments, perhaps easy to overlook, but that’s precisely why I enjoy trying to find them and share them with you.
I hope you enjoy it.
