Where in the world?

Ken has added a very easy way for HTML challenged clods like me to put up photos.

So where was this photo taken?

I added a better view of the mysterious wildlife.

If you can make out the wildlife in the photo, you will get a hint.

Tierra del Fuego. Or my inner ear.

There's wildlife in that picture?

I will say California's Central Coast.

3 is closer than 4 by a wide margin.

There's wildlife in the photo. If you click on it, you should get a blown up version.

I clicked on the image for a larger view, and I still can't make out the wildlife. Looks maybe like a pelican or something.

Yes, it's Chile.

Cameras hadn't been invented yet the last/only time Bob was in Oregon.

Just perusing the family photo albums shows that my parents didn't save any photos from our trip to Oregon.

The 1971 trip to St. Louis is there.
The 1972 trip to the Southwest is there.
The 1973 trip to Oregon is not there.
The 1974 trip when we just rented a condo in Newport Beach is there.

I believe it's a conspiracy.

Of the most egregious proportions!

The alarm was sounded earlier in the day. I choose not to respond to it anymore.

Happy Feet would have been much more interesting if they had just let him stay in the zoo pecking away at the glass while dancing to Eve of Destruction as they showed his tribe dying of starvation and eventually disapearing.

For the record, we were required to stay a far distance away from the penguins and we were not allowed to set foot on the island where they lived.

The penguins that far north in the Southern Hemisphere are fairly little guys. The big guys hang out in Antarctica.

With Morgan Freeman.

For those scoring at home, those are Magellanic penguins.

I've always been more of a puffin guy, myself. Penguins get all the press, but those puffins are just adorable!

My guess is South Shetland Islands or maybe New Georgia.

The same kind as Patagonia?
