Bob's 2009 South Africa Expedition In October of 2009, our intrepid Explorer Bob braved the wilds of South Africa to learn hunting, gathering, and partying by watching how the wild animals do it in their natural habitat. Unfortunately, he spent too little time with lions and elephants, and far too much time with warthogs and dungbeetles. While Bob's relatives re-train him on appropriate social behavior, please enjoy Bob's travel photography chronicling his expedition.

Travel Photography of Bob & Alicia: The Icelandic Chronicles 2008 In June of this 2008, Robert George made perhaps his most ambitious trip to date, not because he traveled to the most remote areas of the Northern frontier, but because he brought his oldest daughter, Alicia, along with him.
Take a look at the following images as Bob and Alicia bathe in the soothing waters of the Blue Lagoon, thrill to the sights and sounds of Iceland, Svarlbard & Norway, and throttle each other for taking too long in the bathroom.

Both Bleiers wearing their oh-so-hip and with-it Hoodies! Could they POSSIBLY be any cooler?!?
NO!! I DON'T think so!!!!
The infamous "Blue Lagoon" of Iceland. Bobby went in a shriveled 82 year old, and came out with skin as soft as a baby's tushie!
Puffins in Flight. We'll bet you didn't even know they could fly. If fact, we'll bet you didn't even know they existed outside of television commercials for breakfast cereal.
A fish Ladder in Iceland (this one is non-collapsible).
The Vigeland Sculpture in Norway. Muse for one of Robert's sculptures.
The intrepid ship "Endeavour" (or the endeavourous ship "Intrepid").
Home to Robert and Alicia during their journey.
A Fjord near Longyearbyen (too awesome a view for a throw-away one-liner).
Another awe-inspiring view, this one of the falls in Iceland.
A leisurely walk through the Lava Fields.
A geo-thermal event, or an MRI of Bobby's stomach after an authentic Icelandic meal.
Dr. Bleier believes that if you look at this long enough, you'll see the Eyeballs of Trolls staring back at you. We don't see it either.
Fjord Number 300 (Collect the Whole Set!!!).
Svalbard's only 5-star Hotel. No seriously, it was written up favorably in "Zagats". Was Too!!
Travel Photographs from Bobby's 2007 Antarctic Expedition/Easter Island Extravaganza These travel images chronicle Dr. Bob's 2007 expedition, this one to the southernmost reaches of the planet, so remote, so cut off from civilization, that one must sometimes walk 5 blocks before finding a McDonalds or Starbucks!
Join Bob (renamed Dances with Penguins by the native population) as he locates previously unchronicled destinations, intermingles with previously undocumented species, and invites a large granite figure from Rapa Nui over the next time it's in Southern California.

Resplendent in his 'Members Only' Red Jacket, Bob takes on the Balmy Antarctic.
Bobby doesn't go for Animated features, so he called this Image 'Great Feat'. Don't worry, we don't get it either.
Two Penguins Walk into a Bar...
A Magellanic Penguin, so named due to the Tattoo of Ferdinand on it's butt.
A Simply Breathtaking View...
Rapa Nui Quiz; which of these Stone Sentries ISN'T the life of the Party?
Initially somewhat aloof, this guy warmed up to Bob and promised to visit next... wait for it... EASTER! Get IT?!?! Now, THAT's Comedy!!!
A Pod of Rapa Nui Stone Sentries, standing lonely Vigil against the Sunrise.
More Sentries, Standing a Somewhat Less Lonely Vigil, against a Similarly Sunrise-y Backdrop.
A Rapa Nui Seascape.
Travel Photography of Bobby's 2005 Trip to Alaska's Inner Passage Here are some images from Bobby's 2005 journey into Alaska, including the Inner Passage & Tracy Arm (And yes, the requisite "I used to date Tracy Arm in High School" joke has been beaten to death since his return...).
As always, click on any of the pictures for a larger view:
Bob bundled against the elements (Also works for Overnight Shipping).
Whales Feeding near Tracy Arm (Insert your obligatory dinner table etiquette joke here).
Wow. And we didn't even Photoshop it to look better!
Navy SEALs preparing for an Extraction Mission (Or other cruise participants taking pictures of a Glacier, I forget which)
The 'Sea Bird' (Budget version of a Luxury Liner).
Nice Water Shot (I don't always get to name the pictures).
