Walk to see seals

Two years ago we had been to see the seals with my brother and other friends. Our Australian friend took a break from work to come to Edinburgh, so we decided to take her to see the seals. I had just arrived in Edinburgh from Helsinki the day before and rested that afternoon, so I couldn't wait to get outdoors and experience the awesomeness of God's creation!!

The path to an adventure!!
Setting out on our adventure in the cliffs off the South East of Scotland in the Borders - Graeme, Camden and I
The amazing sky scape
We had to gently scramble down the cliff to see the seals better - can you see the seals on the sand?

All the seals on the beach
This was an amazing experience!! Not to mention an amazing exercise!!
Artistic shot
Sitting to see how the seals would respond to us coming closer - they didn't do anything different. One of the seals who was a mother with her baby kept looking at us checking us out, and she even moved closer to us, but did nothing to warn the others. 

My expression at how amazing an experience it was!! 
It was so amazing seeing the waves crashing on the rocks!! How do the seals survive in such treacherous waters? 
I tried to do a panorama shot ;)

We were just getting up to leave the seals be, but when we got up the seals started dashing to the sea!! We felt so bad for disturbing them!!


Coming back up the cliff was so much quicker than going down!! 
We made it to the top of the cliff!! Now to get back to the car. 

Coming back from our adventure
When we got back to the car we drove to get a Fish'n'Chips to give ourselves heaps of energy to warm up.

Till next time,
