Mating sea turtles.
Sea Off Mirissa, Sri Lanka.We were in a boat, tracking a Blue whale or whales....suddenly the guide shouted that he had spotted mating turtles..we went crazy...I clicked about 15 shots and a shaky video (the boat was moving, the waves were moving and so were the turtles) From the left of the boat they went to our right and then, the sun was all wrong...or they rode off into the sunset.
