Found it whilst walking to Town recently.Couldn't decide where to post it either - Camera Critters or Odd Shots???
But, guess an Emperor Penguin is worthy of both!
Camera Critters designated site is HERE
Odd Shot's home is with Katney.
Have to add, if anyone hasn't seen the 2005 film, 'March of the Penguins', you are missing a natural history treat of extra-ordinary proportions.
Narrated by actor Morgan Freeman, it's an awe inspiring delight.
It tells the true tale of Antarctica's thousands of Emperor Penguins who each year make an astonishing journey to their breeding grounds on the the coldest, driest darkest continent on earth.
The birds mate, then during the fierce Polar Winter take it in turns to guard their precious egg & trekking back to the ocean in search of food.
The arrival & safety of their adorable fuzzy chicks makes it all worthwhile...
It's an amazing story of survival.
And, beautifully filmed.

Works well for both memes. He's a cute little penguin.
What a pity the artist didn't sign the very charming 'graffiti'! What a dear little fellow!
Mom has seen parts of March of the Penguins but never the whole thing! They're gorgeous birds!
Love ya lots,

Aw.. Baby is so cute!
Regardless of the origin you have a great find.
There was a man in my area that did very similar types of paintings. He was a monk who worked as a painter to raise funds for his order. Most of his work was done on salvaged wood. Any old plank, barn door or scrap of wood would do.
I suspect the the painter of this wall was, like Brother Mathew, someone with a natural talent for painting simple paintings and would use any surface just for the love of doing the artwork.
Again, great capture.
Thanks for visiting my humble site.
