Hyarmen - South

A traveller watches penguins.

He watched the white and black birds with a smile while he sketched them. They looked so funny, hopping and stumbling around on land. But in water, hunting for fish, they became quick and sleek. It even looked like they had fun swimming. It was clear to him that the sea was their natural element.

He closed his notebook that was filling fast with the new animals and plants ehe was seeing on this expedition to the far south.

He did not regret the fight he’d had with his father who’d wanted him to stay home and learn his trade. No, he was not someone who stayed in one place forever. His heart was a wanderer. It was not the sea that called him, like many others on this ship. For him it was the adventure, seeing something new every day. Never standing still.
