Elephant Seals Resting on Dalmatian Winter Beach in in Dalmatia

Elephant Seals Resting on Dalmatian Winter Beach

by Tracy Sandoval

Flat noon light reflects off the Adriatic, casting a pale glow over wet sand where a massive elephant seal rests. Thick, wrinkled grey skin glistens with moisture against the damp ground. Sea haze softens the distant horizon while shallow water laps at the animal's flippers. Another seal lies nearby, partially submerged in the tide. The rocky shoreline blurs in the background under the bright sky. Light falls across the wet sand, highlighting the texture of the seal's hide. A small wave breaks near the flipper, sending a glint of white foam against the dark grey skin.
