Shades of Blue

Brown Bluff, Antarctica

There were great icebergs off the shoreline,
all of them small and some with penguins aboard.

It was mostly Canon and Nikon then. Now there are a lot of Sonys, and almost everyone has some sort of phone. There were about 150 passengers on the ship, so I probably have a photo of her face (and maybe her name) somewhere.

Not as cold as you might think, Paul (although polar plunging is always a shocker). It's summer there, and this was at the far north of the peninsula. The thing to watch out for there is katabatic winds. No one is going ashore or out on Zodiacs if there's a known risk of them.

I like the Canon lens on the left and the pretty woman on the right! Traveller

That’s another level of cold. Paul
