In 1994, all of Punta Espinosa was raised three feet by the shifting volcanic earth below. This landing pier was one of the casualties --it now rests abandoned in a lagoon, well away from the sea. Home now to only a sole sea lion, this tranquil scene contrasts to Fernandina's teeming colony of Marine Iguanas and the antics of mating Flightless Cormorants just a few hundred yards away. I underexposed the scene to emphasize the contrasting light and shadows within this frame.
