A turtle in Bordeaux, two years ago

I was wondering where we were at this time two years ago. On 22nd August, 2017, we were in Bordeaux on a walking tour with myLotter, @topffer. I wrote about it at the time but I don’t think I ever posted this photo of a turtle which we came across in one of the city squares. We had a very enjoyable day and it was good to have a guide to help us find our way around. It was very hot and quite a few people were cooling off by walking through a mirror pool. Around the same time in 2015, we were in a war cemetery in France. I wonder where we’ll be this time next year?

Awesome turtle looks so real and almost alive and great detail. I love Sea Turtles the most.

Thank you for your nice words. Last time I went to Bordeaux, in June; the turtle was still there. This neighborhood of Bordeaux is the equivalent of the "Quartier Latin" in Paris, although in August there was not a lot of students.

In some ways, it seems such a long time ago, don't you think? :)

Chain saw turtle
@JudyEv This turtle was made with a chain saw.

@jstory07 People who create these beautiful items were chain-saws are incredibly clever. That's really lovely.

It's surprising sometimes to see where you were 1 or 2 years ago.
