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!

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)

Rock detail, Point Lobos, Eddie Weston Beach, California coast. fujichrome, scanned from the archive. Loved this place but I was there so briefly...
A lone wolf (the Lamar pack alpha male, I was told by a Park Guide) checking the willow stands along the Lamar River in Yellowstone National Park in May of 2011.
When wolves were reintroduced into the Yellowstone ecosystem in the mid-1990s, there were few willows along the Lamar River. After humans hunted wolves in Yellowstone to nonexistence 50 years earlier, the elk population exploded, and herds over-browsed the willow stands. Soon, the willow were nearly gone and there were other deleterious effects on the habitat, too. Within a decade after being reintroduced, the wolves had set that right and vegetation along the Lamar River valley was returning. Elk populations in Yellowstone declined of course, but they have also retreated away from the river valleys and are not threatened. Definitely, they are not browsing the vegetation as much. An old story, but one that I love.
I was also told by one of the Park guides that several days previously to this a lone wolf had brought down and eaten an adult elk. Ravens joined in, too, I bet.

Almost miraculously, Point Lobos escaped development as it passed from one owner to another. There was once a whaling station and a granite quarry here, a shipping point for a coal mine, and the site of an abalone cannery. Much of Point Lobos was once proposed as a town site. Finally, the land was acquired by an owner who appreciated its unique qualities. When, with the help of the Save-the-Redwoods League, it passed into the trusteeship of the State of California in 1933, Point Lobos still had much of its primitive, wild character. The most beautiful areas of the Reserve can be seen only on foot.
