I am doing a side trip on my way to Phoenix for 2 months (happy retirement!) through Carmel and the Big Sur coastline, which is dramatic and beautiful.

Later in the evening with fading light, I took a similar photo of the Big Sur coastline with a 1.7 second Bulb mode manual exposure on my older Nikon D750 which creates an interesting effect in the wave motion, a very different look and a lot bluer. The fog is rolling in from the ocean.

Elephant seals on a beach near San Simeon, California
The bulls can weigh up to 5000 lbs. There were huge numbers of these seals laying in the sand on the Piedras Blancas beach near San Simeon, California. The pups are born in late December and January.
