Green sea turtle in a seagrass bed by Laura Georgi Tier- und Ladschaftsfotografie

A green sea turtle lies in shallow water on a seagrass bed,
with its head facing directly towards the camera. The photograph was taken at eye level,
not from above, and that is precisely what makes the difference: you are looking into the animal’s
face rather than at its shell.

Behind her, a fine cloud of sand is swirling; the animal has just moved or
been searching for food in the sand. Its front flippers lie spread wide out in the grass,
whilst the light-coloured lines between the carapace plates trace the outline of its head and flippers like a
net. Above it lies the blue of the open water; on the surface,
the waves glisten in the sunlight.

Green sea turtles are the only sea turtles that, as
fully-grown adults, feed almost exclusively on plants. They graze on seagrass meadows
, thereby keeping them healthy. Seagrass sequesters large amounts of carbon and serves as
a nursery for countless fish species. The species is considered endangered.

As a wall mural, the design has a calm and friendly feel. Turquoise, blue and sandy beige
are colours that suit almost any room and create a sense of space. It is suitable
for living rooms, bedrooms, bathrooms, children’s rooms, diving schools,
travel agencies, physiotherapy and wellness areas, doctors’ surgeries and waiting rooms. On
acrylic glass, the water takes on depth and luminosity; on canvas, the
atmosphere becomes softer.

A gift for divers, snorkellers, sea lovers and anyone committed to
protecting the oceans.
