We stopped and guess what we saw, exactly elephant seals. It was a lot of them. It looked like they were dead, but they were sleeping, sometimes they stretched and scratched their stomach. <br> It was fascinating studying these big animals for a while. The road where the cars drive past fast was very near to the seal colony. But the animals didn\u00b4t matter, I think they were used to it. <br> We, the animals and the human being are inhabitants on the same planet, the same world, I hope that we will understand more of our importance of each other now and in the future. It is a beautiful world when we can take care of each other and other inhabitants in this world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"

Through my lens, I seek more than just images. I seek presence. I believe photography is not only about what we see, but how we see \u2014 how we meet the world with open eyes and a quiet mind. For me, photography is a way of listening. A form of mindfulness. A practice of stillness and wonder. I\u2019m also a globetrotter at heart. I love traveling and discovering new places with my camera \u2013 from quiet corners of nature to vibrant city streets. My blog reflects this love for exploring, with stories and photographs gathered along the way. Each journey deepens my appreciation for light, texture, and the way places speak if we take the time to listen. I photograph with both DSLR and iPhone, always guided by what moves me rather than by gear or trends. I created this space to share moments that speak, not shout. Images that invite you to pause. To feel. To breathe. Whether you\u2019re a fellow photographer or someone simply seeking calm in a noisy world, I hope you\u2019ll find something here that resonates. When I\u2019m not behind the camera, I write about mindful photography, run a Norwegian photo community called Se Utover, and create courses that combine creativity, presence, and personal growth. Thank you for visiting. I\u2019m so glad you\u2019re here.\",\"sameAs\":[\"http:\\\/\\\/elibragerphotography.com\",\"https:\\\/\\\/www.facebook.com\\\/EliBragerPhotography\",\"https:\\\/\\\/www.instagram.com\\\/elibrager\",\"https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube.com\\\/@bragerfoto9838\"],\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/elibragerphotography.com\\\/nb\\\/author\\\/elibrager\\\/\"}]}<\/script>\n<!-- \/ Yoast SEO plugin. -->","yoast_head_json":{"title":"Elephant seals - Eli Brager Photography","robots":{"index":"index","follow":"follow","max-snippet":"max-snippet:-1","max-image-preview":"max-image-preview:large","max-video-preview":"max-video-preview:-1"},"canonical":"https:\/\/elibragerphotography.com\/nb\/elephant-seals\/","og_locale":"nb_NO","og_type":"article","og_title":"Elephant seals - Eli Brager Photography","og_description":"On highway 1 from San Simeon to Big Sur it is a viewpoint where you can look for elephant seals.

Through my lens, I seek more than just images. I seek presence. I believe photography is not only about what we see, but how we see \u2014 how we meet the world with open eyes and a quiet mind. For me, photography is a way of listening. A form of mindfulness. A practice of stillness and wonder. I\u2019m also a globetrotter at heart. I love traveling and discovering new places with my camera \u2013 from quiet corners of nature to vibrant city streets. My blog reflects this love for exploring, with stories and photographs gathered along the way. Each journey deepens my appreciation for light, texture, and the way places speak if we take the time to listen. I photograph with both DSLR and iPhone, always guided by what moves me rather than by gear or trends. I created this space to share moments that speak, not shout. Images that invite you to pause. To feel. To breathe. Whether you\u2019re a fellow photographer or someone simply seeking calm in a noisy world, I hope you\u2019ll find something here that resonates. When I\u2019m not behind the camera, I write about mindful photography, run a Norwegian photo community called Se Utover, and create courses that combine creativity, presence, and personal growth. Thank you for visiting. I\u2019m so glad you\u2019re here.","sameAs":["http:\/\/elibragerphotography.com","https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/EliBragerPhotography","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/elibrager","https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@bragerfoto9838"],"url":"https:\/\/elibragerphotography.com\/nb\/author\/elibrager\/"}]}},"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/elibragerphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/bilde_04_2693.jpg?fit=1500%2C1000&ssl=1","jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p29FsT-Kc","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/elibragerphotography.com\/nb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2864","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/elibragerphotography.com\/nb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/elibragerphotography.com\/nb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/elibragerphotography.com\/nb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8754777"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/elibragerphotography.com\/nb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2864"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/elibragerphotography.com\/nb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2864\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4871,"href":"https:\/\/elibragerphotography.com\/nb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2864\/revisions\/4871"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/elibragerphotography.com\/nb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2867"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/elibragerphotography.com\/nb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2864"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/elibragerphotography.com\/nb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2864"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/elibragerphotography.com\/nb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2864"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
