This is at one of the beaches/coves in La Jolla California. The seals apparently just come up and hang out on the shore, so when they do the local authorities section off the beach till they leave, kinda neat!
What an interesting picture, and so well captured. The seals look like living pebbles on the beach, and I like the way you have included one just in the water. Much of photography's artistry is in catching the right moment, and this is spot on.
Wonderful photo. I still remember the first time I saw the seals in La Jolla. They're fun to watch. And La Jolla itself is a good subject; my favorite place in the world.
