This and your other shot are a great pair of photos, but I hope you won't mind me pointing out that this is not a turtle but a terrapin. Turtles have flippers instead of front legs and are usually marine. They only come ashore to lay their eggs, so one would never see them sitting basking like this terrapin is doing. May I suggest that you change your key words and title so that these wonderful images get the full number of downloads that they deserve?
terrapin: terrapin on stone.
Thanks micromoth for your comment! It's greatly appreciated.
Actually my schoolgirl English didn't include that term at all and in German we don't really distinguish terrapins from turtles :) 300px
