Surfing in the Falklands

In the Falkland Islands, penguins surf, so nothing surprising in this sculpture, just perhaps the development (for them and for me) of a new figure that an animal photographer has not yet captured.

For my part, I love the "butler" side of these animals with their clumsy gait which contrasts with their elegance in the water.

This sculpture can be seen at the Sylvie Platini gallery in Veyrier du Lac in Haute Savoie.

Some authors talk about it :

Once upon a time, in the Falklands, there lived an unusual penguin named Pablo who was passionate about the sea and the waves. From a young age, he dreamed of dominating the crashing waves of the ocean. The other penguins often made fun of him, as they found it strange that a penguin preferred waves to ice and fish. But Pablo did not let the criticism discourage him. He knew deep down that his destiny was linked to the sea.

One day, luck finally smiled on him: he managed to convince Nara, his life partner, that she had to help him immediately because a huge storm creating perfect gigantic waves was just hitting the Falklands. . Nara therefore threw herself into the water, letting Pablo climb on her back. The other penguins looked at them in awe, amazed by their courage. Pablo and Nara began to glide on the waves, as if they had been made for this: together, they felt an indescribable joy, a perfect communion with the elements. The more days passed, the more competent they became, attracting everyone's attention, they faced the currents with incredible temerity, always ready to take on new challenges.

Since then, Pablo and Nara continue to play on the waves with passion and devotion. They became a living legend, creating a new sport: surfing which inspired many humans.

The moral of this legend proves that you should never worry about the prejudices and doubts of others, but also that it is always essential to listen to your heart and follow your dreams, whatever they may be.
