[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Photo taken from the Great Barrier Reef near Cairns. It was one of the best snorkel I have done. When I jumped in the water, it was the first thing I have seen. So amazing!!! The turtle swam away from the reef and I could not resist to follow it for a while. I wish I would have been able to swim faster to catch up with it :). It was a pure moment of grace.
At that moment, I have understood why people said Great barrier reef is one of the thing to do before you die.

Salut David,
Superbe tortue ! J'aime bien l'émotion que l'on ressent dans ta note; pour moi aussi l'un des meilleurs souvenirs australiens. C'est que comparé au mythe des tortues, elles nagent vraiment rapidement ! Ta photo est bien réussie; tu avais mis ton appareil en boîte ?

Hey David

When I was 14, my father and I drove from Adelaide to Cairns one year on holiday. I remember sitting in anticipation the whole way eager to encounter a turtle in the Barrier Reff. Turtles being my favourite above all animals. When we went to Cains and went out to the reef, alas, there was none:(.

It's nice to know you, got to see one anyway. It's a nice photo, anything with a turtle in it I get a tad obsessive. You'd brightened this morning up. thanks for sharing.

Andrew
