My gf and I were driving down highway 1 when we saw a bunch of these elephant seals hauled out onto the beach. There was a little fence to keep you from getting too close but we were only 15ft away. Quite an experience, as I've never seen such large seals up close. Thanks for looking. All shots taken with the 70-200 f4 L

Near San Simeon? We stopped here the last time we were in CA. They're cool to see.
Your shots are great.

You know I can't honestly remember where exactly it was. All I know is it was off highway 1 right after you get south of the long coastline with the winding road 1000ft above the water
