My last stop in Patagonia was Punta Arenas in Chile. After a quick flight across the strait the afternoon before, we checked in to a nice old hotel and I woke up to a beautiful sunrise over the Strait of Magellan. At breakfast I could see the sky developing and went to the balcony on… Read More Punta Arenas
There is a king penguin colony on Tierra del Fuego and I got to visit it when I was there. Apparently, king penguins showed up on this shoreline a little over tens years ago and began returning to nest. Initially, when people came to see the penguins they got too close to them and scared… Read More Penguins on a Useless Bay

After a glorious sunrise, we traveled about the park seeing a few more overlooks and looking for more wildlife. I wasn’t happy with my photos from the first overlook and didn’t post any here. At another stop we made looking for wildlife, I became more interested in the way the road looked going off into… Read More Some Autumn Color in April
The third and final sunrise of my stay at Torres del Paine was the best of them all. It was another cold and windy morning again, but I didn’t mind that a bit once we got to the site. Our sunrise site for this morning was a rocky overlook across Lago Pehoe from the mountains.… Read More The Third Sunrise
I started this day with a very cold and windy wait for sunrise at a waterfall on the Rio Paine with the mountains in the background. I had set up my tripod and then sort of just hopped around trying to be warm. At this roadside overlook, there is a gorgeous (and loud) waterfall with… Read More Waterfalls and Hiking, Torres del Paine Day 2
After a cold and windy sunrise at Torres del Paine, we went looking for pumas. Pumas were once a bit rare in this area after being hunted rather ruthlessly by ranchers. But as the park was formed and tourism dollars were discovered, people began being a lot more accommodating of the pumas. With their only… Read More The Towers of the Blue Mountains
After seeing the Perito Moreno glacier, the next part of my Patagonia journey was to get from El Calafate, Argentina to Parque Nacional Torres del Paine in Chile. These two places aren’t terribly far away from each other on the map, but traveling by road, you have to go far out of the way to… Read More The Road to Torres del Paine
Being at a time in my life in between raising young children and retirement age, I feel like I have the opportunity to do a few things that I have always wanted to do. Combining my love of landscape photography and my desire to travel certain places, I spent about a year planning a trip.… Read More I’ve Been on an Adventure
I flew off somewhere to try to find some things to shoot with my camera. I haven’t had a lot of time to be online or write about it all, but I am having a good adventure and loading up my data card with images. And I have my fancy new green backpack that I… Read More I Flew Off to Shoot Photos
