‘After dinner playtime’

.

In my humble opinion, the white-sided dolphin might be the most beautiful dolphin in the world. It is not very well known, partly because it has a small and northern distribution area. In thispainting I have tried to picture a group of them fishing for herring the northern North Sea. They have just isolated and pushed a school of herring against the sea surface into a so-called “baitball”, eaten their fill and now they are just frolicking around a bit.
