Loggerhead Turtle Near Split Volcanic Drop-off

by Emilia Blevins

Honeyed evening light falls through exceptionally clear water, illuminating a massive loggerhead sea turtle as it cruises horizontally beside a steep volcanic rock wall. The turtle's weathered, olive-brown carapace catches the fading sun, against the deep azure of the Adriatic. Fine sand and small pebbles rest on the rocky shelf below, while gentle surface ripples distort the light above. The volcanic drop-off rises vertically, its rough, dark basalt texture sharp against the fluid motion of the water. Late summer clarity reveals every scale on the turtle's flippers and the subtle play of shadow along the rock face. A faint reflection of the turtle's shell glimmers on the undulating surface above.
