Wild seals in the winter habor.

by MAIGO - last update: Jun 24, 2007

In Bakkai fishing harbor, there is a lots of wild saeals
(over 200) living winter season.
They called harbor seal,
Japanese said GOMAFU (spotted like sesami grain) AZARASHI (seal)
BUT! I call them GOMA-CYANZU!! without permission......
During severe winter, a lots of wild seals gther at the harbor.
They are completely excellent tourist attractions now.
In fact, they are hangers-on for local fishermen, but
they made a lighter for seals in a harbor.

GOMA-CYANZU(Seals), they are taking a nap on a
lighter peacefully......zzzzz......

 Thanks for looking at my Atlanta page. :-) I need to do LOTS of work to it! It is almost embarrassing that mine is a top 5 page for a city of this size!
