Dolphins at Sunset


Dolphins at Sunset

Four dolphins frolic in the surf off Carmel Beach at sunset. Dolphins had been spotted all day off the coast. The sky was clear with optimum conditions for viewing the sunset. Spectators filled the beach awaiting the the sunset. As the sun sunk lower in the sky a hush came over the crowd.

As the last sliver of sun disappeared below the horizon, applause broke out among the crowd.

  2. The dolphins were a bonus for the trip. Unfortunately, they did not stick around until Monday. Would have loved to have seen them again before leaving this morning.
