The UK’s Daily Mail recently shared this story about photography from California Institute of the Arts graduate Felix Salazar who used his aquarium for inspiration.

A krill bloom around Monterey Bay is giving whale watchers a big surprise. Just a few weeks back scores of whales, including an estimated 30 blue whales, were seen in a feeding frenzy.
