Travelling to the Domain of the Giant Turtles!
The Galapagos is one of a few places in the world
you can see Giant Sea Turtles.
you can see Giant Sea Turtles.
My parents managed to get some amazing shots during their visit.
Personally I'm fascinated by turtles, especially these giant ones. They always seem so Zen and deliberate no matter what they do, not to mention the intricate patterns on their shells! Of course I was thrilled so see that my parents got some pictures of both land and sea turtles on their trip to the Galapagos.

Giant Tortoise
I always think of the Never Ending Story or the fable about the tortoise and the hare when I see these gentle giants. Some are able to live over 100 years! On the islands they even setup an exhibit about one of their older tortoise's named George who passed in 2012 at an age of 104!
Being as endangered as they are, even their poop is protected!
Giant Sea Turtle
Normally I wouldn't include pictures that were fuzzy or blurred. But the more I stared at these and the way the water refracted the light...the cooler they looked to me!

There are sea turtles here in Hawaii that will swim right up to you. They look like massive moving rocks underwater.
Those turtles are huge! I would love to sit next to one and see how big they really are
