A pod of grindhvale (pilot whales) have been spotted in and around Bergen harbour. About one hundred including lots of mothers and babies. The locals are justifiably very excited. Lots of good pictures here.
This joyous event comes on the same day that Norway voted with Japan and Iceland at the ongoing IWC meeting in Jersey to block the establishment of a southern Ocean whale sanctuary.
The irony is crushing!

The World according to me...
There is no theme for this blog, it's an overflow pipe for my brain. It includes stuff on climbing (rock and ice), snow boarding, geology, observations on life in Norway, weekly movies, jokes and most recently life in my new home of Aberdeen. A lot of crap that's mainly of interest if you know me. If you are looking for information on our Grand Design then go to http://www.cowieswells.blogspot.com/
Comments and feedback always welcome.
BTW - The name "Karmasotra" stems from when I was living on the island of Sotra in western Norway. Not because I am a dyslexic pornographer.
