Moulting King Penguin




All this talk of tariffs levied on uninhabited Antarctic islands is obviously causing stress to this poor King Penguin spotted at Fortuna Bay, South Georgia last December 23rd. Will he or she owe the 10% due from UK imports (since South Georgia is a UK Overseas Territory) or the 41% due on exports from the Falkland Islands (which is a lot closer but now an independent UK Overseas Territory)?

For the technically inclined...

  • Aperture: ƒ/4.5
  • Camera: OM-1
  • Focal length: 316mm
  • ISO: 200
  • Shutter speed: 1/1500s
