Honu say "please stay 20 feet away!" This weary sea traveler pulls herself up from the sacred Hawaiian waters to bask in the golden sun. Taken just before sunset on the shores of ancient fish ponds, at the foot of Hualakai volcano. Finely ground lava mixes with white sand to form the bed for this endangered sea turtle, "honu" in Hawaiian. Aloha! (photo has not been treated in any way)
