It is not the appearance of the fur seal itself that expresses the idea here. Rather, it is the way in which the fur seal fits its environment that tells the story. I deliberately zoomed my lens out, instead of in, to include not only the great slab holding the fur seal, but also the golden walls of stone that tower above it. The sun enters at upper right, illuminating a long narrow slab of rock that rhythmically echoes the upright posture of the fur seal below it. It seems quite at home in this vast cave at the base of a huge pointed monolith that is the most distinctive feature of Bartolome Island, as well as the most recognizable physical landmark in the Galapaogos.
