These beautiful photographs show how these playful pods of dolphins make their own fun by gliding, flipping and spinning through the air whilst enjoying the sun on their backs. Taken at various destinations across the world, it is clear to see that these dolphins don’t have a care in the world as they take on the waves and show off their acrobatic skills in the water. The photographs, taken by Doug Perrine, 60, from the USA, show how dolphins are able to not only play on their own, but also synchronize their movements with each other to create these incredible shapes as they move through the air. Doug says: “The acceleration they used as they travelled through the air was breath-taking. I had to take the photographs as quickly as I could as they were gone and back underwater in an instant.
