22. TURTLE LANDING

Add to Cart Add to Lightbox Download
When a female Olive Ridley Turtle comes ashore to lay her eggs, she is unceremoniously dumped onto the beach by the force of the wave that carries her in. She must then drag herself up the beach to dig a nest for the hundred or so billiard ball-sized eggs she has inside her. I photographed this female from the top of the beach with a telephoto lens so as not to disturb her with my presence.
