Point Lobos State Natural Reserve is outstanding for sightseeing, photography, painting, nature study, picnicking, SCUBA diving, and jogging. In addition to the spectacular beauty, nearly every aspect of its resources is of scientific interest. There are rare plant communities, endangered archeological sites, unique geological formations, and incredibly rich flora and fauna of both land and sea. Deriving its name from the offshore rocks at Punta de los Lobos Marinos, Point of the Sea Wolves, where the sound of the sea lions carries inland, the Reserve has often been called "the crown jewel of the State Park System". Point Lobos has offered many things to millions of people who have visited it over the years. This area contains headlands, coves and rolling meadows. The offshore area forms one of the richest underwater habitats in the world popular with divers. Wildlife includes seals, sea lions, sea otters and migrating gray whales (from December to May). Thousands of seabirds also make the Reserve their home. Hiking trails follow the shoreline and lead to hidden coves. The area used to be the home of a turn-of-the-century whaling and abalone industry. A small cabin built by Chinese fishermen from that era still remains at Whalers Cove and is now a cultural history museum.
Black and white, The tree is a Monterey Cypress and I believe that the cabin is also made of a Monterey Cypress. One of the first great California photographs of the 20th century was taken by Edward Weston of the bark of one of these magnificent trees at this park. There is a spot in the park called Weston Beach that is named in his memory.
Hace unos días leí un artículo sobre lo peligrosos que pueden llegar a ser los lobos para las personas. Al parecer un ganadero había grabado un video de un lobo al lado de la carretera cerca de un pueblo y este decía que hasta que no ocurra una desgracia no se iban a tomar medidas.
Yo puedo hablar de mi experiencia con ellos. Los he tenido cerca a menos de 10 metros en varias ocasiones, en ninguna de ellas he percibido la más mínima amenaza ni el más mínimo indicio de que pudieran hacerme algún daño, lo único que percibí fue mucha curiosidad por su parte, propia de un animal con su inteligencia.
La loba de la foto me vio cuando estaba a unos 100 metros de donde yo me encontraba, lo normal es que cambien de dirección y no les vuelvas a ver el pelo, pero siguió hacia mí, hizo una pausa detrás de unos arbustos y continuó, cuando estaba a unos 10 metros se paró, me obserbó durante unos 5 segundos, ahí saqué esta foto y con las mismas siguió su camino.
En otras ocasiones el desenlace ha sido exactamente el mismo.
El sentimiento de fiera y de animal malvado asociado al lobo está tan arraigado en la sociedad que va a costar muchos años cambiar eso.
Pues nada espero aportar mi granito de arena para quitarle un poco de esa mala fama que tiene este magnífico animal que tenemos el privilegio de poder ver por nuestros montes.
Un saludo

El banco de estar de p.m.😂
Bueno, o el banco de los lobitos. Era muy raro que este asiento del puerto no estuviera colonizado por un lobo de mar en actitud, como podréis ver, muy muy preocupada.😉
Un abrazote!

Rock detail, Point Lobos, Eddie Weston Beach, California coast. fujichrome, scanned from the archive. Loved this place but I was there so briefly...
Point Lobos: where the land meets the sea, where the often ferocious surf pounds and sculpts the shoreline, tearing, chewing and eroding the granodiorite and Carmelo Formations. At once beautiful and raw, relentless and indifferent, gorgeous and dangerous: all qualities that encapsulate the 19th century notion of the sublime, the sense that nature is equally gorgeous and terrifying, equally awesome and unpredictable, a force to be contemplated but always respected. Point Lobos, for me a home away from home, a place that I come to nearly every year to shed away all the trappings of city life, to reconnect with that awe that this wondrous and raw place contains, a place that inspired wonderful photographs by Edward Weston, Ansel Adams, and Cole Weston, a place that fueled the creativity of novelist John Steinbeck, the poetry of Robinson Jeffers, the paintings of Percy Gray and Guy Rose, a place that offers spectacular breathtaking beauty where you can witness thousands of cormorants nesting, gray whales migrating, seals basking in the sun, pelicans flying in formation, sea otters frolicking, the sea battered Monterey Cypress struggling and the sea ever moving, ever eroding, ever ebbing, a place where one’s reliance on the human construct of time slips back into the random unpredictability of existence, reminding one of the impermanence and transience of our unnecessarily cluttered lives.
