Point Wild ~ My Avitar

what a wild place!

I’ve heard of Shakleton voyage from here to South Georgia Island described as the most amazing feat in maritime history. The whole thing beggars belief, very lucky to have experienced these places first hand… one day. Thanks for sharing Robert.

Ahhh that must be an amazing place to visit ! thanks for sharing your journey !

Amazing story, have seen it a couple of times on the ABC and just incredible how tough those fellas really were… and we get to see your face again Robert! Have you shaved?!! :))

LOL! Yes, right Robert, you whipped out your warm razor and did a shave, just for this shot?!! Hhehehehe!! LOL! Did you shave the tops of the goosebumps?!!

Great story, thanks for sharing.

Fantastic image and that must have been a great experience, being able to be at that same place as the great adventurer Shackleton. And being in the middle of that amazing wild life. Wow. I only can imagine what it would be like. Besites the cold . ;o))

Great to see your face again Robert… hope that you’re warm again!

A magical place… the whole Shackleton thing defies imagination doesn’t it!! How special to have shared it with your son (who seems to share your photography passion… my hubby just complained ‘cos I got him to carry my backpack LOL)

Nice work here

What a great photograph of a fantastic man, Sir! And the background is just stunning! Yours – Lady D. ;)

It’s wild out there!! – Robert, I love this shot!!!

what an amazing story! and such a wonderful picture of you. i can kind of relate but nothing that wild or adventerous. A few years ago i travelled to newfoundland and visited many places that our forebears lived including the dig where there are excavating where Sir John A. Macdonalds home used to stand. being well educated in history it had quite the emotional effect on me.

I’m familiar with Shak – a very inspirational place. Perfect for your avatar.

Thanks for sharing this with us Robert, amazing place!!

Wow that is amazing !

Wow!! That is a great shot, perfect for your avatar
