This alternative process was definitely the most easy of all the ones I choose to do. The two pictures I used express my theme, the journey. The map is self explanatory, and has a added bonus since it's of Oakville; I can actually use it. The penguins represent the journey in so many ways as well. Every year, emperor penguins (mostly males) in Antarctica must leave their habitats and  go on a horrendously long and cold journey inland to gather food for their hatching chicks. No food recovered means their chick will not survive. This famous journey can be seen with incredible detail in the movie March of the Penguins, feel free to check it out. 12 layers of gel was used on each gel lift.
