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.
Entre las diversas especies de lobo existentes en nuestro planeta, una de ellas es la que conocemos como lobo de Alaska, cuyo nombre científico es el de “canis lupus pambasileus”.
Como podemos deducir por su nombre, se trata de un animal que vive en Alaska, en cuyos bosques han encontrado su hábitat ideal. También se pueden avistar algunos ejemplares en la zona noroeste de Canadá.
Cabe destacar que el lobo de Alaska es el lobo de mayor tamaño de los que se conocen actualmente, pudiendo alcanzar un peso de 75 kilos.
El lobo de Alaska tiene un aspecto físico que recuerda mucho al perro de raza Husky, siendo generalmente su pelaje de color gris, mientras que la frente y el dorso son de color negro.
El 14 de marzo es el aniversario del nacimiento y muerte de Félix Rodríguez de la Fuente y al igual que otros muchos me gustaría rendirle un pequeño homenaje con esta foto de sus grandes amigos, los lobos, tomada en el Centro de Interpretación del Lobo Ibérico.
Long considered the “crown jewel” of California’s 280 state parks, Point Lobos State Natural Reserve is a magnet for nature lovers around the world.
Point Lobos has several different points, with associated bays and small beaches; one of them was the wondrous pebble beach [below]. I'm guessing the many-colored pebbles came from the conglomerate rocks that form the point.
The tide was on its way out - but this was still an unsafe place for a camera, due to the salty spray in the air.

across the seas towards Lobos & Lanzarote.
Quite a walk but worth it!!
