It's Rough when....

.... the cliff's too rough to climb!
This seal looked as if he was contemplating how on earth he was going to get up the cliff. 
I took this several years ago on the rugged coast down south of New Zealand.

  1. My heart goes out to him! I hope he was able to find a smooth bit of rock to lay his flippers.

  5. Poor little guy.
    The only time I've ever been that close to a seal was at the zoo. All my photos of seals in nature tend to look like brown rocks on the shore.
    This is a good photo. Nice work.
