It’s the second Monday of the month, and therefore an opportunity to feature another set of photos as part of Penguins Around the World!

The first is a set of drawings by Arionamaria9 for their scrapbook! They look incredible, and they’re all based around the different mascot backgrounds so might even seem familiar. The second image was taken by Lunax, and features her dog, Nadule, alongside a penguin – it’s quite a relief that Nadule didn’t eat the penguin!

If you’d like to be featured in the next post:

• Take a photo of something Club Penguin related in front of a nice background – it doesn’t need to be anything too special, even a tree outdoors would be super cool! It must be your own photo, and please don’t include any identifying personal information in the photo (including your own face)
• Email the photo to photo@clubpenguinmountains.com or DM it on Twitter to @CPMountains – please include your penguin name if you would like it to be featured in the blog post!

I’d like to give a huge thank you to Arionamaria9 and Lunax for submitting photos this month, and to you for reading!

Waddle on!

It’s the second Monday of the month, and therefore an opportunity to feature another photo as part of Penguins Around the World! This beautiful photo was taken by MarkWaddlz in Virginia, America and features both Aunt Arctic and Gary playing in the snow! If you look closely, you can also see Herbert camouflaged in the tree and spying on them…

It’s the start of a new year of Penguins Around the World, in-line with the new Mountains Monday schedule which I announced last week! I’m really looking forward to starting this series again, as I think it’s really fun to share these photos taken all around the world, and I hope you will also consider submitting one!

There are two special photos to share this month! The first was taken by Sweet Ari last month, and it features a whole range of penguins gathered around a Christmas tree, along with some dogs posing for the photo too!

The other image was a beautiful shot taken by Jasmin231 in the province of Saskatchewan in Canada. It features Gary looking out the window on a rainy day! I love the landscape located outside the photo – it seems like the sort of weather which Gary would enjoy assessing…

For the past few months, I’ve been trying something new by posting your photos submitted from all across the world! In case you missed it, you can view some previous photos here, but I’m pleased to share some more really beautiful ones which have been submitted over the last month.

The first two shots have been taken in Victoria, Australia by Snowpoppy19 and Piplup96! I think they’re absolutely adorable; it’s like the puffle is hiding from the penguin in the first one, and playing together in the second one. The drawing of Cadence is another beautiful piece by Lakra, which looks amazing! You can zoom into each photo by clicking them.

I realise that this is difficult to continue as a series without new submissions, but if you’d like to be featured in the next post:

• Take a photo of something Club Penguin related in front of a nice background – it doesn’t need to be anything too special, even a tree outdoors would be super cool! It must be your own photo, and please don’t include any identifying personal information in the photo (including your own face)

I’d like to give a huge thank you to Snowpoppy19, Piplup96 and Lakra for submitting photos this month – they’re really amazing!

For the past two months, I’ve been trying something new by posting your photos submitted from all across the world! In case you missed it, you can check out last month’s photos here, but I’m pleased to share some new ones now!

These three photos are beautiful shots taken by Riccowed in Stellenbosch, which is in Cape Town, South Africa! It’s quite special seeing a penguin and a goose both together in the same shot…

In addition, Lakra shared an amazing photo of a penguin which they drew! The colours are amazing, and it’s extremely well-drawn.

Last month, I shared a plan to share your real-life photos that you’ve taken on this blog, similar to the Penguins around the World series from Club Penguin! In case you missed it, you can check it out here. Fortunately, multiple people sent in a range of photos, so I’ve selected half a dozen for this month’s post!

Rockfarmer6 and Roxy6449 sent a beautiful photo of a yellow puffle taken on a vacation in Hawaii of Rainbow Tower! The colours are stunning, and it seems like a lovely atmosphere. Although LeonardoDMD‘s puffle couldn’t quite make it to a beach, he still creatively edited an image together of an orange puffle relaxing on the seaside. A little away from the sea, Dinotrainbud sent a lovely photo of some penguins and puffles by a tree trunk!

There were some other photos too! Beefinator shared a photo of Club Penguin sports players near some pretty flowers – the colours look wonderful together! Although different from the penguins which we are used to, Roadrunner1 shared a photo of a woolen penguin outside. Also a little different from the previous photos, NintendoFanboy 124 shared the penguin which he drew in December and hung on a Christmas tree. If you’ve ever drawn similar fan-art like this, please feel free to submit it!

Note: since I’m away for some of this month and I had to write this a bit early, images that were sent after the middle of August may be featured next month instead. If you’d like to be featured in the next post:

• Take a photo of something Club Penguin related in front of a nice background – it doesn’t need to be anything too special, even a tree outdoors would be super cool! It must be your own photo.
• Email the photo to photo@clubpenguinmountains.com or DM it on Twitter to @CPMountains – please include your penguin name if you would like it to be featured in the blog post!

I’d like to give a huge thank you to everyone who submitted photos this month! This is the first time I’ve tried something like this, so please leave a comment letting me know how you find this series too.

Waddle on!

For over a year, Mountains Monday has included a photo taken in-real-life related to Club Penguin each month. It’s featured a huge range, from ski resorts to pianos, and demonstrated just how large the franchise was! Unfortunately though, it’s becoming really difficult to find new and exciting images, mostly because I’ve already shared them all. I still really like the concept of these photos though, so I’m planning to try something new!

When Club Penguin was still around, there was a section on the official blog called “Penguins Around the World” from which players could submit different photos which they’d taken featuring either a penguin or puffle. You can see an example below!

I’m really keen to introduce something similar to this as part of Mountains Monday! Although the plan is mainly dependent on how many people choose to get involved, each month, I’d hope to feature your photos of something Club Penguin related here on this blog! It could be anything, big or small. For example, here’s a photo of my puffle which I took a couple of years ago at Table Mountain in South Africa.

All you’d need to do is:

• Take a photo of your penguin or puffle in front of a nice background – it doesn’t need to be anything too special, even a tree outdoors would be super cool! It must be your own photo.
• Email the photo to photo@clubpenguinmountains.com or DM it on Twitter to @CPMountains – please include your penguin name if you would like it to be featured in the blog post!

I recognise that this will be a lot easier with Club Penguin merchandise, which not everyone might have access too, but even if you’ve drawn or created something, feel free to submit that too! The only rules are that it must be a photo (not a screenshot, I’m afraid!) and your own.

I’m not sure if all photos will be featured since that depends on how many people submit one, and I’m not even certain about what to expect because this is my first time trying something like this. However, I hope people will be interested and that it’ll be a lot of fun to participate in and read!

It’s the fourth Monday of the month, so as normal for Mountains Monday, it’s time to share another photo of something which occurred in real life related to Club Penguin! This one is particularly sweet because it relates to a charitable endeavour undertaken in 2010. At the start of the year, there was a terrible earthquake in Haiti which caused a lot of destruction.

A few months after it, the Club Penguin team helped reconstruct infrastructure there. That included playgrounds for children, and for one of those, the team set up a mural based around the island there. You can see it below!

One of the really sweet things about this was that the team actively tried to involve the whole community; penguins were encouraged to submit artwork, and there was a vote with some of the selected options. For example, the artwork above was actually initially submitted by a community member, and you can see it below.

The charitable endeavours of Club Penguin really do convey how much it made the world a better place, so I thought it’d be nice to share today.

Waddle on!

For Mountains Monday this week, it’s time to feature something related to Club Penguin in real-life! Often, that can feature a piece of merchandise, but most products except membership cards were retired by 2013.

However, in 2014, the Club Penguin team attempted to restart merchandise production as part of a partnership with an online store. The range of products included phone cases, hoodies, and also skateboards! These weren’t sold for long, and it was widely perceived as a failure due to the extremely high prices which the products sold at. That being said, some of the designs were visually impressive!

The skateboard featuring the rainbow puffle even made it in-game too as part of the School & Skate event in 2014, which also introduced the skatepark to Club Penguin. I remember finding it a little peculiar to see the emphasis of skateboards added to Club Penguin at the time, but it was probably perceived as a trend that could’ve been profitable.

As part of that, the Club Penguin team also revealed a “digital short” featuring the skateboard. In reality, it was really just an advertisement, but it was rare for a video similar to this to be released.

The expensive pricing of these skateboards largely resulted in them being forgotten despite the emphasis that the Club Penguin team tried placing on them, but I thought they’d be fun to explore in a Mountains Monday post, so I hope that you enjoyed reading!

Waddle on! 🛹

As usual on the fourth Monday of the month, it’s time to share a photo of something related to Club Penguin! This one was taken at the Kelowna HQ in Canada, and it shows a Coffee Shop.

However, this Coffee Shop has always been particularly special to many because it’s based on the room from the island. A lot of the decorations, such as the colours and some of the printings on the wall, were intended to replicate it. It also contains some other impressive details too.

These photos were actually taken during the Club Penguin Media Summit in 2013, where some local and national journalists were invited to the HQ. Thank you very much for reading, waddle on!
