I've seen them that close up in Alaska, had a pod of them chasing "food", I'm guessing salmon one summer I was there. Was on Dad's charter boat out of Homer. A couple idiot boats decided they needed to chase them so their clients could get some good pictures, they went deep, hauled ass and popped back up over a mile away.

Dad and I went out on one of his buddy's boats (50' party boat, they would put 26 people on it fishing for halibut) a couple days later, we were down by some islands just north of Kodiak, about 5 hours from Homer; had what we guessed was 50 humpback whales sounding all around us. Could only see about 1/4 mile in that fog...pretty wild seeing all those big critters coming all the way out of the water and splashing down.
 
Just watching/seeing that makes my tummy queezy. :sick:
I used to climb antennas for a living, we considered anything over 50' is a death fall...going higher just gives you more time to think about it on the way down. That image looks like duder is over 1,000', probably good bit higher than that. I think the tallest antenna tower is 2,100 feet, somewhere in the midwest, South Dakota or Nebraska, can't remember.
 
I got the nickname Mongo years ago riding dirt bikes, mainly because I looked like this on a KDX220
When finally gave up wrecking on dirt and went to wrecking on asphalt, I looked like this on my 650 V-Star too! :LOL:

My best friend’s dad in the 1970’s was 6’3
And… not slim.

During the gas crunch of the late’70’s, he bought a Vespa to ride around town.

Everyone said he looked like “a monkey humping a football.”

They were not wrong!
