A random penguin photo

The curious penguin
Marty’s photo of the day #4229: Here is a photo to put a smile on your face. When Deb and I traveled to Antarctica, a documentary film crew came along. We all had to abide by strict rules that prevented us from approaching any animal closer than fifteen feet. Those rules also applied to the […]
Antarctica snow

Gentoo close-up
Marty’s photo of the day #3507: This is one of my favorite photos from my Antarctica trip. We had strict rules that we could not approach any animal closer than 15 feet. But if an animal approached us? That was okay. The man in my photo is Paul Jacobson, who was filming a documentary of […]
