Hello,

here are some of the pictures we took from the whale festival in Henningsvaer from 29.7-6.8.2011, enjoy! The festival was a success, we managed to find killer whales and Atlantic white sided dolphins, did playbacks with the killer whales, we had a great opening concert on Wednesday night in the harbour of Henningsvaer, when we let the humpback whale and David and Agnes roar the village! …and we even improvised with a power cut the next day!
Unfortunately not many people from the village came, many were on vacation, especially the kids. For next year we plan to set it for the second week in July, so we can arrange some fun activities for the children as well.
We will make more presentations during the following weeks, so check again…

Check the dance video!

I would like to thank everybody that participated and visited us during this event, it was a pleasure to have you here and I hope I will meet you again next year!

Heike
