Seal surfing the waves

This seal was playfully surfing the waves only 20-30 feet from the shore on a beautiful early morning in November.
The seal was waiting for waves to grow in size and would then swim along, taking them all the way until they broke.
It was an amazing sight!

Beautiful! You know, sometimes people see them obliquly and think they are sharks - chaos ensues as alarmed swimmer does just the sort of thrashing that says "Lunch time!" to a shark...

Nicely done! I'm On a 56K modem, so that's probably the only picture I'll see tonight ;-) Time Warner is going to top Adelphia in dysfunction. Great capture with incredible and well thought out light. g
