California Sea Lions have been always present in
San Francisco Bay. They started haul out on docks of Pier 39 in September of 1989. Before that they mostly used Seal Rock for that purpose. Ever since September of 1989 the number of sea lions on Seal Rock has been staidly decreasing, while the their number on Pier 39 was increasing. Some people speculate that sea lions moved to docks because of the
1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, but the earthquake was a months after first sea lions have arrived at Pier 39. Probably the most reasonable assumption is that sea lions feel safer inside the Bay
I might have used the wrong word. I meant "illusion" I guess. The image is FP on Commons, and nobody there complained about it spinning in one direction :)--

Comment This image seems to be a bit warped and tilted. If you have a look at the bridge in the background it looks as though it is stretched to the right, is this how the bridge is supposed to look. Also the buildings in the background towards the left look kind of warped as well as many of the other features in the foreground, like the light house for instance. Would it be possible to realign this panorama, can I see the individual images

Thank you for your comment, Adam. I am afraid it is not possible to see individual images, because I do not keep them. Maybe I will try to reshot the images all together one day, and for now I withdraw the nomination. Thank you all for your comments.--
