I love the warm colors you achieved on the seal population here.I vividly remember the strong smell and loud noise these creature's emitted on our visit a few years ago.Loud and stinky but really fascinating to see so many of them congregated together like this.Kinda sad if they are gone.

Amazing - great shot!
RJvdLeij23-Jan-2010 15:21
They where gone right?
Guest 23-Jan-2010 15:09
aliens disguised as tourists? I think they got the wrong costume. :)

We also have an overpopulation of seals. This autumn one island got 300,000 seals. And the total population in the golf, is close to 6,000,000 individuals. And now Europe has put a ban on the sale of seal produce, in two years every citizen will be able to adopt 2 seals each, I'm gonna need a swimming pool, and 16 tons of fish a year.....!

These sea lions left in December. They think the food fish left, so the sea lions followed!! Great shot of them lounging around!

Excellent capture! And I also like the tight crop here! V.
Dave Hein09-Jan-2010 05:14
They think they've found them now: They're wintering on the Oregon coast this year.
If they got out of town for the big earthquake I guess we'll find out later. :)
Guest 05-Jan-2010 18:50
wow so fabulous!!! V
Jim's Atavistic Visions04-Jan-2010 23:02

Excellent catch Paolo. They just had a news story on a few days ago that they are all gone and no one knows where they went. Happy New Year!! ~V~
Fabienne01-Jan-2010 20:25
c'est incroyable, qu'ils soient là si près des humains.
Guest 01-Jan-2010 18:04
Great shot .... in the last 2 weeks of Dec. 2009 they have all left. Scientist are baffled on why they all left.
Guest 31-Dec-2009 22:06
