weekly photo challenge: converge
Today, we share a photo of an outdoor fish market on the island of Santa Cruz, one of the Galapagos Islands.
Where the pelicans converge for any fish that might be up for grabs.
How has everyone else interpreted converge? See here for more!
Can you see the sneaky sea lion?
Hope you all have a terrific weekend!
Tell us what you think of our choice for the theme this week.

🙂 The Galapagos is soooo awesome!

What a super photo, one unlikely to be duplicated by anyone else! Besides the seal and bird convergence, you have people converging on the market as well.

I recognised this scene straight away! I think I have the exact same photo with a few sea lions in the mix too! What an incredible place!
November 30, 2014 at 1:06 pm
Isn’t the Galapagos just something so special to experience? 🙂 Loved just sitting here people and wildlife watching!

Great photo for this week’s theme! Reminds me of the movie Finding Nemo and all the seagulls saying “mine, mine, mine, mine…”
November 30, 2014 at 1:06 pm
Hahahaha – You are so right! We can now just picture those pelicans saying the same 🙂
November 30, 2014 at 1:50 am
the sea lion made me laugh – he has no shame whatsoever!
November 30, 2014 at 1:07 pm
Nope…no shame – that sea lion was upfront and reading to claim what he could 🙂

Would love to photograph that. There is a few pelicans around Geelong which make great subjects…and yes I did spot the sea lion. Fantastic photo
November 30, 2014 at 1:08 pm
Thank you! The Galapagos has many wonderful things to photograph… Pelicans in general are very entertaining to look at 🙂
November 29, 2014 at 11:26 pm
That is one cheeky sea lion!
November 30, 2014 at 1:08 pm
Most certainly cheeky 🙂 Not sure how he even ended up at the front!
November 29, 2014 at 10:33 pm
Great photo and I did spot the seal 🙂
November 29, 2014 at 10:34 pm
Good spotting 🙂 Hope you are enjoying the enjoying!
November 29, 2014 at 7:54 pm
Love your interpretation! 🙂
November 29, 2014 at 8:37 pm
Thanks Madhu! Hope you are well 🙂

Awww…. glad you liked it! We appreciate your comment 🙂

The sea lion looks like it’s underneath the bench? This is a very creative interpretation of this week’s challenge. They must all be hungry pelicans…and they all look very patient and obedient! I hope they got something to eat in the end. Wishing you monkeys a happy weekend, the last weekend of spring for us! It’s a quiet one for me 🙂
November 29, 2014 at 8:37 pm
Hehehe – yes Mabel! That sea lion is right up front under the bench….
When we first arrived, the pelicans were probably several metres back… they slow crept up. It was very entertaining to watch the way they behave 🙂
Summer is well on its way which means its also time for us to put up our Xmas tree….
PS Enjoy your quiet weekend – we like those ones just to chill out at home!

That reminded me of a visit to Lake Tawakoni Dam near Dallas, Texas. Where the water (and fish) flowed over the dam, there was a line-up of pelicans waiting for a free meal.
November 29, 2014 at 8:34 pm
Really?? Did you get a photo of that – we would love to see it! 🙂
Those ever-hungry pelicans 😉

If I have a picture it is buried away right now. If and when I find it, I will definitely post it. Maybe it would be a good excuse for another Texas trip. When I was there, my camera was not my constant companion like it is today.

Very nice interpretation of this week’s photo challenge.
November 29, 2014 at 8:33 pm
Thanking you for your lovely comment! When we saw the theme – we knew it had to be this picture 🙂
November 30, 2014 at 5:30 am
You’re welcome. It does look like a fun shot to have taken. Good shooting to you.
November 30, 2014 at 1:05 pm
🙂 Appreciate it!
November 29, 2014 at 9:07 am
What a fun pic, typical pelican, but I’ve never seen a seal in the mix before!
November 29, 2014 at 8:32 pm
Hehehe – it was a sneaky fellow to be right up front too 🙂 Thanks for your comment!! Glad you liked it.
November 29, 2014 at 10:00 pm
Determined not to miss out 🙂
November 29, 2014 at 8:58 am
Great photo and interpretation of this week’s challenge!
November 29, 2014 at 8:58 am
Thank you 🙂

Pelicans always seem to know when a free feed is on the cards.
November 29, 2014 at 8:18 am
They always sniff it out 🙂
