TITLE: Backlight Penguin

On our last trip to South Georgia I did some backlight scenes with Gentoo Penguins on late afternoon. I hiked up all the way on top of the hill of that small island to the rookery of the penguins. They all have been very busy with nesting. They are permanent on the go to find small brunches and little rocks to build their nests. As the sun went down I had the sceneI was waiting for and a very friendly little penguin streched himself in the light.
