penguins

A black and white vintage photograph titled 'PENGUINS.' In the photo is a scattered group of about two dozen penguins standing, walking, and sliding on a flat, vast expanse of ice or snow under a clear sky.

Love these little critters.


Two king penguins standing side-by-side on a flat, textured rock platform at Edinburgh Zoo. The penguin on the left faces left, while the penguin on the right has its head tilted up towards the sky. Both penguins have black heads, bright orange-yellow patches on their throats, white bellies, and grey flippers.

King penguins are my favorite! They're the ones that immediately come to mind when I think "penguin."

A massive colony of hundreds of king penguins, crowded so closely together the ground cannot be seen. The penguins have black heads, bright orange-yellow patches on their throats, white bellies, and grey flippers.


Peng, the avatar used by Pixelguin. A simple flat drawing of a penguin with a white exclamation mark over its head. The background is a smooth diagonal gradient, moving from green in the top left through cyan, ending in azure in the bottom right.

Peng has been my avatar online for some time. I change the color of the exclamation mark based on the platform's brand colors, and sometimes I add a background.

Peng is not a peng.
