Description
Giant tortoises can live a long time, typically between 80 and 120 years. Perhaps because of its long life, the tortoise is considered to be a universal symbol of knowledge and wisdom. Creation itself is associated with the tortoise and it's believed the animal bears the burdens of the entire world.
We met this venerable gentleman at the Temple of Poseidon ruins near Athens, Greece some years ago. We watched him for quite a while, while he watched us back. I digitally painted my original photograph to add a bit more antiquity.
