There is a world living on this pile of rocks in a fountain of Milla Mimbelli. We have been here a couple of years ago and practically nothing is changed: the same bunch of abandoned turtles slowly circling around this small basin or trying to secure a place on the rocks.
After a swim they must climb on each other to find a place in the sun.
Sometimes they seem to be looking at you...
I wouldn't have ever dreamed to catch my reflection in the eye of a turtle!

Great images, VP! That last one especially.
A great series, VP. Each image is progressively closer. Nice.
I've always loved turtles so I love this post!
A bunch of sunbathers.
Love this post VP. Truly beautiful!
Years since I have seen turtles.... Nice posting:)
Turtle portraits! The pictures are surprisingly touching.
I'm glad you devoted time to these captive creatures.
A wonderful series, VP!
I didn't think you'd find turtles in a fountain, great images!
Animales de caparazón en ristre...
Saludos.
Lol, but you did! :-)
Like I said at the time, chi va piano... but walking all over each other has to stay a turtle thing!
Sooo many! Poor them, it is really crowded there.
Looks like a calm life.
You did a wonderful job with this series. Great detail and color and that last shot is superb - reflection in the eye of a turtle!
Wow! That is a creative reflection. :)
There's a big pond not far from where I live where you can find hundreds of turtles. People release them there when they get too big to be kept at home. I've counted five species so far.
