Emperor Penguin Visits Queen (City) by alophoto

Emperor Penguin Visits Queen (City)

And here is Chilly checking out Queen City or downtown Cincinnati. He loved the sparkle across the river, the light on the water.

Too bad the photographer was having troubles after the margarita (not really...just shooting with a point and shoot, no tripod in the dark and hoping for the best).

This week at Mad Hatters we are doing a story along the lines of the traveling gnome from Amelie, only we have a sightseeing penguin.

I took Chilly to Newport, KY (such a fun night place on the other side of the river from Cincinnati). Great views of the skyline. This skyline shot was my goal, but by the time I had this margarita and shared a shot of whiskey, somehow that shot came out a little fuzzy.

Check in at Mad Hatters @madhatters to see where Chilly ends up this week, what he sees. And please play, too, showing us around your towns, areas with your own little dudes (whether it be a gnome, penguin, smurf, etc.:). Tag your shots: madhatters-travelinggnome .

And to get a better idea about the traveling gnome scenes...here is a clip from Amelie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8LuUM4z9l0M
I had to do a double take there as missed the penguin!

What a beautiful night scene. I think Chilly might have also had some margarita--he looks a little wobbly.

@cejaanderson Yeah maybe it was him and not be, darn penguin;-).

Ho, ho!

Excellent night shot - very cool

I saw the skyline and recognized it as Cincy and wondered who lives in Cincy. Margaritas are a great beginning to an evening of photographing city skylines with penguins - even without a tripod! ;)

@neatz He was tipsy from the margarita. Or maybe that was me, or...:).
November 24th, 2014

Great night shot! Love the focus on the city with the bokeh penguin.

@pflaume I meant for it to be the other way around, but I don't know how to control my point and shoot so well (especially when I've had a margarita beforehand;-).
November 26th, 2014  
What a view! Fabulous!
