Sunday Selections.

Sunday Selections, brought to us by Kim, of Frogpondsrock, is an ongoing theme where participants post previously unused photos languishing in their files.

Anyone can join in, just post your photos under the Sunday Selections title, link back to Kim, then add your name to her Linky list at Frogpondsrock.

Just to be consistent - I am going back to Antarctica, and hope you will come with me.

Memorial at Port Stanley, Falkland Islands.

This one made me more than ordinarily crabby.  The arches are whale ribs.  Humph.

From here on in, things of beauty I promise.

Rock Hopper Penguins (and they do) and Albatrosses.

Baby King Penguins

Gentoo Penguin




Magellan Penguins

    Oh, yeah, I would love to go to Antarctica with you--in person, I mean. Wow, what a trip that must have been.

    It makes my face hurt smiling when I think of it. And paradoxically also brings tears to my eyes. But yeah, it was amazing.

    The baby Kings look like they're wearing fur coats, so cute.

    The Penguins are cute but they can have the Antarctica all to themselves, toooooo cold for me. Fantastic photos all the same :-).

    Wow, I have always wanted to go to Antarctica. I nearly went as a kitchen hand on the Nella Dan ( (a danish boat) but the kitchen hand I was supposed to be replacing decided to go after all. Then I had a baby and life just interveneds and stops certain adventures. Thanks for sharing :)

    Nothing wrong with penguin photos. Even in the blackest of moods, the sight of penguins can make me smile and even laugh out loud and clap my hands like a little girl!

    It's hard to come to terms with a culture so different that whale ribs are perfectly acceptable, isn't it? But .. I guess they are a part of the Falkland Islands' culture and they're just viewed differently. *Sigh*

    Love the penguins and ice photos!

    Thank you one and all. When the first explorers saw baby King penguins they thought they were a different species because they look so different to the adults. Understandable I think. You will have to let me know when you overdose on Antarctica.

    Some great pictures there, EC. It would be nice to visit the southern end of the earth.

    :0)

    Cheers

    I called my daughter Anya to view these fantastic photos with me and all she kept saying was "OMG".

    Thank you Joni and Anya. It was an amazing place. If you haven't had the chance to look already there are more Antarctica photos on my earlier posting Memories.
