Description

A large colony of sea lions gathers densely across dark, rugged rocky outcroppings that emerge from choppy ocean waters. Numerous brown marine mammals rest, stretch, and look in various directions under an overcast sky. In the background, distant blue-grey mountains rise above evergreen forests. Splashing water crashes against the lower rocks on the left side of the composition. The natural daylight illuminates the textured fur of the animals and the jagged surfaces of the stone.
