there be icebergs!

for get pushed this week @ankers70 (Suzanne) challenged me to review some of my travel photos and select one that represents the essence of travel...

this was taken last February in Patagonia... and yes - it's in colour because b&w just could not do it justice... i've come to discover that while i infinitely prefer the aesthetic of black and white, there are times when i need to allow the scenes colour to shine through - and that happens most often while i'm travelling...

it was a rainy day and we were on a boat heading out to an island where we would stay at the Estancia Cristina... the person in the photo is someone else on the same trip with us... ice bergs are real and they are definitely BLUE!!!!
He's not looking at your iceberg, what was he photographing??

Gorgeous blue ice

@30pics4jackiesdiamond i don't recall... there were quite a few ice bergs, and the shoreline was covered in mist - so basically an embarrassment of riches when it came to photo subjects 🥴

Wonderful! We lived in Newfoundland for 3 years and could see the icebergs usually in June, from our window! Magic.

An excellent solution to the challenge. This iceberg is impressive with its colour and shape.

Perfect. Patagonia is on my list of places to visit. I don't call it a 'bucket list' because buckets are too small to fit all the places I want to spend time in.

And I know what you mean about so many pics to deal with.

This photo for me is all about the lines leading to the photographer who is photographing something else. It is the essence of travel where there is so much to take our attention, so much to wonder at, big and small, that we can't take it all in. And different people see different things to wonder at. Thanks for your response to the challenge and to your comments to go with it on travel, colour and looking. @northy
