There is something magical about these huge, gentle creatures – the blue whales. Palos Verdes homes owners are so lucky to have them feeding off our coast. Sometimes, you can see them with binoculars or even just the naked eye. However, the blue whales were featured in a recent LA Times article explaining that there are so many blue whales now feeding off our coast that they are in danger of being hit by a ship as the whales are feeding in the shipping lanes going into Los Angeles and Long Beach Harbors (click here to read article).
The terrific photo above was taken by Allen J. Schaben, Los Angeles Times, and is the first photo I have seen with Palos Verdes Peninsula in the background. Usually, the photos are taken from tour boats that take sightseers out to get a close-up look at the blue whales and do not include our shoreline – just the whales. If you look closely, you can see Trump National Golf Club in the center of the photo just above the bluff.
