Description
Southern Elephant Seals near Punta Delgada on the Reserva Faunistica Peninsula Valdes, Chubut Province, Patagonia, Argentina. Peninsula Valdes has the only breeding colony of southern elephant seals on the South American continent.
It was at this point that I realized that my little Canon PowerShot A40 was not enough to take good wildlife pictures. We weren't allowed to get too close to them and the Park Ranger explained everything in whispered tones so as not to disturb the seals. But despite of this, it was a fantastic experience. This picture was taken in December 2003.
Thanks for viewing and commenting on my last update. Comments are much appreciated.
A nice weekend to everyone:)

Wow! I can imagine it was a fantastic experience to get close to those seals. I also chanced to see some in a deserted beach in Iceland and remember the precautions we'd had to take :-)...Excellent capture indeed.5+++
