Not actually a penguin.

A truly gigantic, bright yellow rubber duck sits next to the Kowloon Star Ferry pier in Hong Kong harbour. Hundreds (thousands?) of people have lined up along the waterfront to see it. Taken May 2013
A white paper plate with a large flat samosa on one side, and a mass of bhajis cooked with chips covering the rest of the plate.
Two big cars parked alongside a suburban street. Both have the pre-Islamic-Revolution Iranian flag prominently displayed on their bonnets, with smaller flags attached to the side windows.
A photo of a candle holder with space for 9 candles in the shape of the Western Wall in Jerusalem, with two lions cut out of the backplate and silhouettes of worshippers in front. The candle holder is sitting on a windowsill, with two white candles burning in it, one at each end, with the light of the candles reflecting off the window behind.
A monkey with a red face and grey-white fur is relaxing in a hot spring. There are rocks in the foreground and gently steaming water behind the rocks, with other monkeys in the water - the monkey in focus is leaning both hands on the rocks and has its eyes closed in a zen-like expression.
Twil's post about being jealous of people with hair was followed immediately on my timeline by a cartoon from Moose Allain with an angry person saying "Bloody baldies, combing over hair!" to another person. Moose apparently draws all of his cartoons to order, they're not prints...
A long yellow banner is spread on a city street - it has Chinese writing at the top and "WE'LL BE BACK" in English at the bottom. In the background are some skyscrapers, and between the skyscrapers and the banner are a collection of tents, the last physical remnants of Hong Kong's 2014 protest camp.
A double row of doughnuts from Krispy Kreme in Hokkaido, Japan. Each doughnut is in the shape of a cute little bird in the middle of a nest, and there's a sign behind the display saying SHIMA ENAGA - the doughnuts are apparently matcha flavoured and cost ¥376 each.
A fairly close-up photo of the front of a white car or small van with a shiny grill and the Hong Kong-style registration plate DRAGON
A photo along a snow-covered bridge, taken at night under a slightly eerie greenish light. The sides of the bridge have repeated angular beams all the way along, as does the top.
A colourful - mostly in shades of blue and yellow - poster offering a FREEDOM TEA SET with Hong Kong milk tea and a Ukrainian cake.
Two visitors, one in a Santa-suggestive cloak, pose with three nurses in front of a Christmas tree on a hospital ward. One of the nurses is holding a festive pack of chocolates which the visitors have delivered.
