This is an old one from back in 2008. I was driving down the California coast from San Francisco to Los Angles and stopped off at Año Nuevo State Park to see what I could find. It was first thing in the morning and this elephant seal had the beach to himself, waiting for females to arrive for the yearly mating and birthing season which takes place from December through March. Since then I have spent many hours photographing both northern elephant seals in California, as well as their larger cousins, the southern elephant seals down in the Falkland Islands. Nikon D300 with Nikkor 17-35mm lens (at 35mm) ISO 400, f/4 at 1/250th of a second.
