Description
Sea turtles swim in a completely different way from aquatic land turtles, which paddle through rivers and ponds with webbed feet. Sea turtles flap their long front flippers up and down, not forward and back, to fly through the water like birds.I was hunting for a sunset eerie by the sea in Haifa, Israel and I stumbled into this huge turtle. Unfortunately it was dead. Good luck in turtle heaven big boy.
Do Animals go to Heaven?
This is a question which is asked more frequently as people today seem to be treating their beasts more like humans, and humans more like beasts.

It's questionable for posting images of dead animals, but the shot is elegantly taken and well carried out, so I have no complains (especially after reading the description, you obveously have a lot of respect for animals).

It will fascinate me to see if the admins remove this. They took down my Lapin Mort because it was a dead animal... and it was beautiful, like yours ...and I didn't kill it. sigh...
Anyway, this is just gorgeous.

Outstanding. I couldn't help but fav it, and you must understand I hate faving art because people throw faves around so loosely. I fav art that I really appreciate, and I just can't help but fav this.

לא ידעתי שאתה מישראל .. איך אתה יוצר את האפקט החזק הזה של השקיעה והשתקפות בכל התמונות שלך?
אשמח לשמוע פרטים(:
