One of the most extraordinary moments I have experienced was spotting whales just off the South Coast of Ireland. I was astounded by these incredible giants of the ocean - they seemed to belong to another world. Watching these creatures reminded me of how extraordinary nature can be. It made me realise that we can be so caught up in our human world that we forget to stop and simply appreciate our surroundings.
