Turtles and friends

The International League of Conservation Photographers chose 40 "top" photographs of nature in honor of the 40th anniversary of Earth Day, and auctioned them off at Christie's Green Auction. Though ILCP agreed that it was difficult to choose among so many beautiful photographs of all corners of Mother Earth, they tried their best and from the looks of it, they did a pretty good job. These photographs were chosen based "factors such as aesthetics, uniqueness, historical and scientific significance, or contribution to conservation efforts". Here are a few taken from Treehugger.com for you to enjoy in awe.
