Sea lions haul out on to floating platforms in Newport’s harbor. They spend most of their time sleeping, but every now and then get into a shouting match such as this one. I was standing directly above them on a pier, and my overhead vantage point allowed me to include the floating platforms as context. These platforms are man-made, yet these animals are behaving very much as they do in natural settings. They offer an incongruous context for an incongruous activity.
