It felt like a rockhopper-penguin-taking-a-shower kind of day today. So here are two little rockhoppers doing what they do when coming in from a day at sea. Photographed in the Falkland Islands. Nikon D800 with Nikkor 17-35mm lens (at 19mm) ISO 1600, f/2.8 at 1/800th of a second.
What a great photo – your rockhoppers have the best kind of shower facility – outdoors, in the clean air, take your time, towels not required – no charge!
That natural stone salt-waters shower must have cost a lot to have installed in their bathroom, which itself looks rather large. I didn’t know penguins were loaded.

How great is that!!!
Thanks Jane. It was a fun spot to watch the comings and goings.

No doubt Sue. And actually quite private. I had to descend some rocky terrain to get down there.

I think they’re taking a cue from the Olympic divers: dive in, shower off. Brrrr!
Yes, although they seem to thrive on that cold water.
