Love it! And, by the way, thanks for helping to clarify the meaning of “icons!” This old guy certainly is an icon.

James,

Great image! This guy (or gal?) has such a great expression - like a little kid staring at a big bowl of strawberry ice cream!

Also, nice job extending the notion of the icon - to one of it’s inhabitants! And yes, the place is iconic.

Thanks for sharing.

The “joy” in this tortise’s face is unmistakeable. Nicely framed and focused.

This is a great fun image. It brings me back to the feeling of being in galapagos with these gicantic but gentle and cute creatures. I love how you get to see all the green all over his face like a three year old.

Interesting comments and I always appreciate all comments.I flipped a coin on this topic ,asking the question ,“What makes a venue an Icon?” is it an object within the place , and can an animal be an Icon or mark the place as an Icon? I guess lucked out on this one. Thanks again, to all for the comments.
