Travels around the world
On the way from Argentina to Chile, we stopped at a sheep ranch (Estancia). We got to watch the sheep dogs manage a herd of sheep, then one of the sheep getting sheared.
The view from the Vinoy hotel was foggy. At first could only see a lonely chair on my balcony.
One of the benefits when I was working part-time (two weeks a month) in Boulder, Colorado was that Rocky Mountain National Park was only an hour drive. I got to see and take pictures in the park during all four seasons. A winter storm was approaching, so I only spent a few hours in the park.
While staying at the Historic Vinoy hotel, I was able to look out my balcony and see the St. Petersburg Pier. It still was being lit up at night with colors that changed every few minutes. I set up a couple of cameras to take a series of images, that were then processed into time-lapse videos. Since then the Pier has been torn down. I don’t know what it will be replaced with.
Although everyone was celebrating late into the night, I still got up early to check out the clouds at dawn. I knew we were approaching the southern part of Patagonia, and I was not disappointed. Even better, I was the only one out on the upper deck, and didn’t have to worry about the rude passengers from China with their bigger lenses walking in front of me while I was taking pictures. Shortly thereafter, the spotter for the Chinese tour group showed up and got on the walkie-talkie telling folks to come up. By the time they got on deck the colors were gone, but I had my picture.
