This was Photo of the Day (PotD) on Bostonist.com (r.i.p.), which was a Boston-focused blog in the Gothamist universe before it folded).

After the Whale Watch last weekend, I spent the balance of the afternoon at the New England Aquarium. The Aquarium sports a four story high, 200,00 gallon, coral reef Giant Ocean Tank, and many other small tank exhibits.

This Loggerhead Turtle was kind enough to slow down and get close to the glass so I could get this shot. p.s. I agree with Zombie Turtle Kid.

This is Myrtle the Turtle, a Green Sea Turtle (not to be confused with Yertle the Turtle). This was shot from above the tank and the nearby lights gave Myrtle this cool, phosphorescent look (no significant post-processing). Myrtle has lived in the giant ocean tank since 1970. She likes Brussels Sprouts. p.s. I agree with Zombie Turtle Kid.
