Reflections on The Beagle Channel Today!

Standard

The view from our room this morning. We are in Argentina. The land across this narrow part of the channel is Chile.

This bird is clearly quite vain, but if we looked like him, maybe we would be too!

Even the sailboats reflect each other!

About cindy knoke

I retired early after 27 years as a psychotherapist/mental health director (Cindy Barton LCSW) and moved to the outer limits of no-wheres-ville to a home I call "the holler." My closest neighbors are coyotes (packs and packs of them and they are HUNGRY), rattlers (lots and lots of them and they are MEAN), and free range cows/bulls (the bulls aren't too friendly either!) Forget cell phones. They don't work out here. Forget GPS, it misdirects. It's best not to wander too much out here, the people (and their dogs) are kinda twitchy. To reach the holler your turn right at the reeking chicken farm, down a bunch of pot-holed semi-streets/dirt roads, past the abandoned refrigerators and occupied old RV’s and then things get kinda dicey. My friends usual reaction to the trip to the holler is, “you’ve got to be kidding!” Or, “Next time let’s meet half way.” This is our little bit of heavenly Appalachia right here in rural California. I blog about traveling which I do about three months a year, cooking which I love, photography, usually of my food and trips, books, holler happenings, and anything else that strikes my fancy. Stop by the blog and take a peek. It’s safe. I promise. Cheers, Cindy

  1. What a beautiful place! I spent some time on google maps today, so I understood better where you are. Fantastic! I don’t think I’d survive the plane ride :) it’s so far!!

  2. What was this about channeling a Beagle??? I didn’t know you were into mysticism !! The pics are beautiful Cindy. There is a clarity in them that borders on unreal. That “vain” bird is a type of heron but I’d have to dig up my bird book to tell you which one. Looks like you’re having a great time.

  4. I lived majority of my childhood in Iquique, Chile. Never been to Argentina though, just up and down the country and Rio De Janeiro. Clearly I missed this colorful place in your amazing photos :)
