Green Sea Turtle Nesting on Winter Beach in beside a volcanic drop-off in Sardinia

Green Sea Turtle Nesting on Winter Beach

by Shawn Huerta

Soft, diffused light from a late afternoon sky washes over a wet, dark sand beach where a large green sea turtle pauses in the shallow surf. The reptile's olive-green carapace glistens with moisture, contrasting against the grey, rain-washed pebbles and the black volcanic rock rising steeply in the background. Winter air hangs heavy with a faint plankton haze that blurs the horizon line, softening the distant water into a pale grey sheet. Fine droplets rest on the turtle's flippers as it shifts weight on the damp sand. Behind the animal, the rough texture of the volcanic drop-off stands stark against the muted sky, while the wet ground reflects the pale light in scattered, shimmering patches.
