A little humor from the elephant seal rookery at Piedras Blancas, CA. I liked the ripple pattern created by all the crowded bodies, broken only by the single, upraised flipper.

Lol, this is great, love your perspective on him raising his hand! Great element of design with the broken pattern! We're leaving tomorrow to head to So. CA. I looked up Piedras Blancas, might have to go visit it! :-) #1585056
