Following almost a week of non-stop unsettled weather, Mother Nature decided to give us a little reminder of how insignificant and inconsequential we are in the grand scheme of things.
Obviously, this is nothing like the horrid disaster of Hurricane Sandy, but and angry sea, is, an angry see.
Here are some photos takes along West Cliff Drive in Santa Cruz on the 2nd of December. The sunlight was a horrible blue from the deep clouds and reflection out of the ocean. I did the best I could do on the color correction:
Granted, it’s been a couple of weeks since the pros packed up and headed off to Pipeline for the last event on their years tour. I’m not always the quickest to get photos uploaded, with clients to service, mouths to feed, cars and bikes to work on and in there somewhere I try to have a little fun for myself.
So this morning I’m pulling up some pics from a few weeks ago that I’ve wanted to post up. One of these days I’ll get my watermarking done, but for now.. I’ll just have to trust that nobody finds these compelling enough to steal (here’s hoping).
Sea Lions! Tons of sea lions!. I’m sure that’s and underestimate.
Normally on the boardwalk you would see a few seals up under the main wharf, but it appears that they have invated the Stagnaro’s boat launch, and, well, see for yourself. It looks like the aftermath of some sort of frat party or Roman toga orgy.
What you used to find, a few stragglers under the wharf.Now, it's a seal pile!Marine mamals, everywhere!It sort of makes you wonder, if they heeded the warning.I was treated to some mamal aeorbatics.Some made better choices than others, regarding their LZ.This provides a little more perspective on the mass of blubber and fins.This has nothing to do with sea lions, it's the street side of The Boardwalk
