A day when all the colour was sucked out and replaced by greys.I have not desaturated this.
The rain poured, the wind howled and the seas crashed and there at the end of the breakwater was a lone fur seal reveling in the wild weather.

It doesn't seem to bother that seal either.

He is just having a shower - He probably knows that it is a bit risky jumping in.

Smooth seas do not make skilful sailors.
How In the heck did you brave such weather for this shot Lyn? The seal sure makes the perfect bonus for this shot. tigs=^..^=

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life and so is my love of photography. sandi ♪ ♫
This is one of those images that just gets better the longer I study it, Lyn. The descending layers of land and sea, in visibility, have a rather magical and eerie feel to them, but that fur seal is the cherry on top of the sundae. When I was a kid I would wait for weeks for a summer hail storm and, hen one did arrive, I'd race across the back yard to our metal shed. Sitting up against a wall in there, it was a real trip to listen to the hail pounding on the walls an eighth of an inch away, mindless of the fact that tornados are often preceded by hail. Fur seals are more closely related to sea lions than actual seals, the length of a very tall man and reaching weights of nearly 500 pounds. It would take a heckuva bigger wave than this to push him off the jetty. He probably feels as safe there as I did in my shed. What a great shot. Thanks for this, Lyn, and your persistence. S&F.

If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.
Very powerful image Lyn. It has a professional quality to it in my opinion.

Your comment is very well written, and the scene you have captured is riveting. I really love sunshine, but this is also a beautiful part of nature and you nailed it!

No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.
Obviously it get "the seal of approval," LE.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.
This is a fantastic shot Lyn and I agree wholeheartedly with Nik's comment - it gets better and better.

That's some pretty wild weather...the seal may have been as surprised to see you as you were to see him, lol...excellent capture especially under such miserable conditions and very timely catching this 'thrill seeker'...great work, Lyn.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
