That seems crazy for this part of the earth were seals are so afraid of humans...
Well done :)

Grand amoureux des animaux que je suis, surtotu ceux qui sont fragiles et vulnérables, je ne pouvais pas manquer de faire un détour par cette photo.
Une vue bien calme Amber, ils sont en train de se dorlotter au soleil, insouciants, pourvu qu'o,n les laisse en paix.
Kind regards.
