Rocks and a deceased pelican.

(UPDATE: My pal Ehpem noticed that I may have made a slight error here: I didn’t really time-travel into the future to take this shot. It was from 2009.)

Wow. It is interesting that I am viewing your photograph as a piece of art after the initial few seconds of shock. A quick emotional hit and then I am looking at all the details on the pelican.
There was an article relatively recently about the pelican die-off in the Monterey Bay area. I hope I’m not mistaking it for an article I read about a sea otters.

I guess it was a shock for people who look at my blog often – it’s usually buildings that are about to fall over, not birds that already did! Thanks for sharing the article – I don’t know enough about pelicans to know if this one was full-grown or not.

If indeed you took this in 3009, then the photo bodes ill for future generations!. I really like this photograph, and thanks for including a larger version so that the detail can be looked at more closely as they warrant it.
