PhotoHunt: Wrinkled (Churches in Venice)

PhotoHunt: Wrinkled

This week's PhotoHunt theme is "wrinkled." It'll be interesting to see what folks come up with for this one. Here's mine:

This is an African Sulcata Tortoise who was born in Hawaii and now lives in Georgia, but I met him when he was visiting North Carolina, go figure. Happy weekend!

Good one, Annie! That is one traveling turtle. I wonder about his mode of transport to the mainland.

Happy weekend!

That's one big, well-traveled tortoise. Great wrinkles and great captures. Is the next stop Venice?
