Two Penguins Looking The Melbourne Skyline Together Caught On Camera

The ongoing epidemic of these days is causing great misfortune to the entire world, but good things are happening. Everyone has been given the opportunity to spend time with their families and help them realize the reality of their lives. As sad as it is with some things that have taken it away from us, we can rejoice in what it has accomplished. We are distant from our busy lives and isolated in our own homes.

It is becoming more and more difficult for everyone to be isolated. We all want to spend time with our loved ones. Not only humans, but animals also need to get along with their mates during difficult times. The photographer Tobias Baumgaertner’s camera captures a rare sight of a penguin gazing at the sky by hugging each other.

This is how he shared that beautiful moment he captured.

During times like this the truly lucky ones are those that can be with the person/people they love most. I captured this moment about a year ago. These two Fairy penguins poised upon a rock overlooking the Melbourne skyline were standing there for hours, flipper in flipper, watching the sparkling lights of the skyline and ocean. A volunteer approached me and told me that the white one was an elderly lady who had lost her partner and apparently so did the younger male to the left. Since then they meet regularly comforting each other and standing together for hours watching the dancing lights of the nearby city. I spend 3 full nights with this penguin colony until I was able to get this picture. Between not being able or allowed to use any lights and the tiny penguins continuously moving, rubbing their flippers on each other’s backs and cleaning one another, it was really hard to get a shot but i got lucky during one beautiful moment. I hope you enjoy this moment as much as I did. #lovewillalwayswin • ? @tobiasvisuals •Shot on Nikon Z6, Nikkor 50mm 1.4, ISO 8000, 50mm, f/1.4, 1/60 sec

Some said that once these penguins after getting apart, they look up at the sky to comfort each other after regaining their friendship.

Pinguins Part 2. “… Love is the only game in which we win even when we lose” The way that these two lovebirds were caring for one another stood out from the entire colony. While all the other penguins were sleeping or running around, those two seemed to just stand there and enjoy every second they had together, holding each other in their flippers and talking about penguin stuff. Pain has brought them together (see PART 1). I guess sometimes you find love when you least expect it. It’s a privilege to truly love someone, paradisiacal when they love you back. ? @tobiasvisuals • (Even though it is very similar to the previous image I thought it’d be a pity to not share it with you guys)
