Photos by John Pearse : on the map, in Google Earth (KML)

Thank you for your comments. Looking closer at this photo, I cannot see any identifiable young (so I changed the title), but in the several photos I shot here there were young. This was taken in early May and the area here includes a sandy beach, as well as the rocks. These harbor seals breed from March to May depending on the population and young seals were there on this beach, but perhaps not in this shot.

This is indeed Pacific Grove, on the Monterey Peninsula, but not Monterey.

This building is the former Monterey Boats works, and the boats, which were built there are now archived there. The building is now a lecture hall for Hopkins Marine Station of Stanford University, which is located in Pacific Grove, not Monterey.

These harbor seals are on the beach at Hopkins Marine Station in Pacific Grove, not Monterey.
