A Sea Turtle Picture A day # 115

Welcome back to A Sea Turtle Picture A Day. Today I am posting something just a little different. This is a picture a=of an ancient rock carving of a Sea Turtle that is located in the Puako Petrogliph fields on the Big Island of Hawaii. The more places that I travel in the world the more carvings of pictures of Sea Turtles that I find. It seems that these wonderful creatures intrigued and moved ancient people like the do modern people.
