The Rocks Are Alive

a small group of Elephant Seals making their home amongst the rocks of the coast of California .... I am looking way down a steep embankment to see them - last March ...

thank you so much, Sabine (S. Sabine Krause) for pointing out my mistake - and sorry to all who got misled :-)

    A great capture ! Interesting to see them at their wild state.
    They are the same color than the mud.

    Mir gefällt Deine Aufnahme wirklich sehr gut, da paßt alles: Motiv, Belichtung, Schärfe, Perspektive
    sind perfekt gewählt. Vor allem bist Du zu beneiden für solche Motive.
    Liebe Grüße Günter

    A very impressive photo,first I thought of an... ecological disaster, Adele! It's amazing how these animals like to rest on the muddy soil like dead creatures...

    oh, what a fascinating encounter it must have been! i do envy you the experience, adele! they look great in their gleaming graphite gray skins among the same colored beach! don't want to sound presumptuos (probably am… ; )), but could they be young elephant seals rather than sea lions?? i always thought sea lions were of a brownish color and had those strange little ears… well, whatever they are, they are truly adorable creatures! i like the attached picture, too: a penny for what the pink-tongued one has to tell… ; )) hugs, sabine.

    They lie in the mud and seem to enjoy it.
    Great scene.
