Description Rather postcard-like, I know, but I really liked the different colours in the clouds.

This was taken standing on the back of the ship that was to take me to Antarctica.

The Beagle Channel runs below the towering Andes mountains of Argentina and Chile. It is a strange place. Almost like a timeless dream. The sun takes hours to set (this was taken at about 11pm), the water is so calm, as the ship quietly glides past the last remaining human settlements - on one side, Argentinean, on the other, Chilean ("and here we have the southern most city in the world, owned by Argentina... here, the southern most town in the world, owned by Chile.. now we come to the southern most village in the world..!"). Civilisation, literally drifting away from you. Sailing off the edge of the world, into pure, uncontrolled nature, in the form of the most fierce ocean in the world, and ultimately, the white continent.

Really nice one.

Framing is good, colors are great and clouds are really original.
Plus there are a story behind the picture.

The only thing I would point is the font you used, a little bit too old fashion for me, and maybe your white border a bit too large.

Anyway, welcome back
