The Adelie penguins were some of our favorites as they are so animated and fun to watch. These Adelie penguins were sliding down the slope, gathering rocks on the beach for their nests, and then walking back up. I liked this shot since it showcases the harsh environment where they live. But I also love the wide-eyed look these penguins have when they look back behind them!

Whenever I dig into my old stuff the question always creeps into my head, "What would I tell that kid if I could tell him anything?"
You are going to do OK for yourself but in a quiet, unspectacular way. He (I) already knew that. In fact I took that for granted.
You are going to lose people that mean the world to you and you will never stop grieving for them. I knew that too ( we all do ) but I would have never admitted as much, preferring to only recognize those bitter truths as I was being run over by them.
I suppose I couldn't resist giving some sage advice but I wouldn't listen to myself. I remember making a point of not acting on good advice when dispensed by anyone professing to know what life was really about.
All in all it's a good thing time travel isn't possible. Aside from being freaked out by my wrinkly old self showing up to tell me crap I knew but didn't have the courage to act on, I would have been angered that all the suspense and mystery had just been taken out of life. For all the effort that goes into fiction about jumping back or ahead in time I think it is good that we have to crunch along alone without the aid of a nebbish future self showing up every so often to whine and moan about how I'm so lacking in ambition. I'm peeved at myself right now just for thinking up the thought of it.
I first put this together in 2012. Today I thought about it and made an effort to find the original images. 1974 was taken with a Canon F1 and a 50mm f1.4. 2012 was taken with a Pentax K10D and the 18-55 kit lens. In 2012 I used Gimp to stack the images. This time around I used Affinity Photo.
this is the look he gave me right before he bit my lens
so if a bird pecks on your wide angle lens, then you're probably a little too close :)

When I first moved here to the Pacific Northwest, I met this old man that would always look up with his hands outstretched. He would say, "Isn't it wonderful". Back then, I didn't really get the message. As I have lived here longer, I have come to appreciate the beauty in the sky, especially the morning and the evenings! :)
In a few days I will be traveling down to Southern Utah and Arizona. I am looking forward to photographing the great Southwest. It will be a very big change from the Pacific Northwest. Can't wait for the challenge! :)
I will be away from flickr for awhile, but I will catch up with your photo streams when I get back. :)
We stopped on our way in to town and I didn't have my tripod with me, so I slowed down the shutter as much as a could while holding the camera on a fence rail. I love the greens all around the perimeter. Just wish I could have smoothed out the water a bit more.

This is the centre look up view of Putrajaya bridge, Malaysia. As we were driving along the bridge and noticed many people stop their car along the side to watch the night scene, I was curious to pull over and walk across for a few photo shoot, instead this look up view in the middle of the divider catch my attention.
