A portrait of Teddy that I had converted to black and white in lightroom and which I used on a set of coasters I had made after we lost him.
Beagle Channel (Spanish: Canal Beagle) is a strait in Tierra del Fuego Archipelago on the extreme southern tip of South America partly in Chile and partly in Argentina.
The Beagle Channel, the Straits of Magellan to the north, and the open-ocean Drake Passage to the south are the three navigable passages around South America between the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. Most commercial shipping uses the open-ocean Drake Passage.
We sailed though under cloudy skies and near freezing temperatures. Even so, we were treated to some spectacular scenery, such as this, along the way.
I took this shot as we sailed down the Beagle Channel heading out to Antarctica across the dreaded Drake Passage.
I took the shot because the light and landscape looked so much like the Lake District fells back home.
This was quite late in the evening and I can remember thinking about what the next couple of days would bring as we started out on our adventure. I was hoping for a calm Drake crossing, but that never happened!
This photo was taken the same day as the others of Daisy, and seeing that I just put up some real daisies, I thought I just might put this one up too. She seems to be a very popular dog around the neighbor hood when she's not working. She's a very happy and lovable beagle...even though she sniffs out dead things...
