Two penguins, pretending not to notice all the other ice skaters are quite unconcerned by the presence of the regulars who were rather astonished to see the polite penguins, Rocky and Clementine enjoying themselves at the silver blades rink at Streatham, London. Rocky and Clementine had been taken along to the rink because they were feeling the heat of the unusually warm summer at Chessington Zoo, and were given an hour to cool off on the ice. 24th August 1967

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, two penguins named Rocky and Clementine are caught in a moment of pure delight at the silver blades rink in Streatham, London. Completely unfazed by the other ice skaters around them, these adorable creatures seem to be pretending not to notice the astonishment on the faces of regulars who unexpectedly encountered their presence. It was an unusually warm summer day at Chessington Zoo when Rocky and Clementine were brought along to cool off on the ice for an hour. The year was 1967, a time when leisure activities like ice skating provided respite from daily routines. The image captures a unique blend of humor and charm as these feathered friends find joy amidst human recreation. As children and women alike observed with amusement, it became evident that even penguins could enjoy such leisurely pursuits. This photograph is a nostalgic reminder of inner boroughs in London during the 1960s – bustling neighborhoods where unexpected encounters with nature's wonders could brighten anyone's day. George Greenwell skillfully captured this heartwarming scene, freezing it forever in time for us to cherish. Let this image transport you back to an era where simple pleasures intertwined with urban life, leaving lasting memories etched within our hearts.
