Orlando bonanja



As they say,seeing is believing. Whoever can think that Whales can be trained, least of all, Killer Whales.Well,if you happen to be in the Sea World in Orlando,you are likely to come back with  memories of  the most happening   hour of  your life. Six Whales. Jumping,dancing,prancing.All to the commands of their mentors who are,of course,on firm ground.Mind you,these Whales are trained but not yet civilized.They are guided by basic instinct.Conditioned to food and animal instinct to strike.It is amazing to see how training had been evolved to condition them in a most unusual place.Namely,far from their natural habitat and in a pool.One can see 2 shows a day.Seats next to pool are splash ones.Better to sit at back if you plan to operate a camera.Better idea is to see it twice.That way one can manage to actually see it and enjoy wheras te other show can be seen behind the lens.Whales jump on to the foyer area and ground themselves.Occasionally,you see them jumping high and take somersaults.Very often they will splash at you in ecstasy of school children.And the beauty is,there is danger looming large always.Beauty is grotesque.
