Hello fellow steemians, I am a new user from South Africa.

in introduceyourself •  7 years ago 

My name is Lysergic and i'm from a small town called Hermanus situated in the most southern region of South Africa which also happens to be one of the best whale watching places in the world.

I am a nature lover and some of my hobbies include freediving, skateboarding, hiking, mycology and horticulture to name a few. I am also a avid Psychonaut and am very passionate about Psychedelics. I have recently started getting into cryptocurrencies and thats how i found out about steemit. I am so excited to finally be apart of this community.

Since this is my first post i thought i would tell you a little about Hermanus. Hermanus is one of the top 12 whale watching places in the world.Walker Bay in Hermanus is the mating and breeding grounds of the Southern Right Whale during the winter and spring months (from June to November). Southern Right Whales migrate from the Antarctic from around June to calve and mate.

Calving takes place in August and September and the males arrive for mating in October when the whale population peaks. The best time to enjoy whale watching in Hermanus is between July and November however you are almost guaranteed of seeing whales in September, October and November.  The best thing about Hermanus is you can view the whales directly from the cliffs and do not need to pay to go on an expensive boat trip or scenic flight unless you want to.

Pictured above is the Hermanus whale crier, He signals where the whales are situated by blowing through the dried and hollow Kelp like a horn. This helps people locate the whales as sometimes it is difficult to find them.

This image just show how unbelievably close the whales come to the shore in Hermanus, it truly is amazing! I really hope you enjoyed my first post on steemit and look forward to making many more!
