A shot from yesterday showcasing a very relaxed terrapin given the fact that they tend to carry the weight of the world on their shoulders, mythologically speaking anyway (haha). The World turtle or Cosmic turtle is a theme found in many cultures, traditions and religions across the world. Although they're smaller than other members of their order (Chelonians), it really makes you think about the microcosm/macrocosm analogy. As above and so below, the body of the turtle usually symbolises the Earth whereas the shell represents the heavens overhead, both existing harmoniously...and harmonious is definitely how l would describe this guys demeanour.
