Saturday, January 24th, 2026 at 11:55:19 PM · 2026/Drakes Beach Elephant Seal Pups
Three elephant seals are captured resting on sandy beach terrain at Drakes Beach. The central seal, darker in coloration, appears to be a younger individual nestled between two larger seals. The composition shows intimate social interaction, with the seals positioned close together in shallow depressions in the sand. The lighting is soft and overcast, creating muted tones that emphasize the seals' textured skin and peaceful demeanor. The beach environment appears natural and undisturbed, typical of elephant seal haul-out sites during breeding or molting season.
