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.

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

A peninsula of fractured and worn rocks next to the tidal zone.
As I wrote in another recent post, what I thought would be a quick visit to this cove turned into a rather longer one. As I started my visit I wasn’t sure that I would photograph here, but once I started looking around I found plenty of interesting subjects. After well over an hour I finally tore myself away to go photograph something else!
The location encompasses a shallow cove lined with rocks, some of which are flat and gradually head under the water, and others that are part of a small peninsula blocking the area from the open ocean. The intertidal zone is full of fascinating things — living creatures, pebbles left behind by the surf, and a pavement of upended strata. In this photograph I backed off some distance and put a long lens on the camera so that I could include the foreground boulders along with a small portion of the flat area and the rocky wall of the peninsula beyond.

Point Lobos is the well-deserving subject of the often repeated quote by landscape artist Francis McComas: "The greatest meeting of land and water in the world." I don’t disagree. (Point Lobos State Reserve, CA)
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.
