Description
Sea turtles swim in a completely different way from aquatic land turtles, which paddle through rivers and ponds with webbed feet. Sea turtles flap their long front flippers up and down, not forward and back, to fly through the water like birds.I was hunting for a sunset eerie by the sea in Haifa, Israel and I stumbled into this huge turtle. Unfortunately it was dead. Good luck in turtle heaven big boy.
Do Animals go to Heaven?
This is a question which is asked more frequently as people today seem to be treating their beasts more like humans, and humans more like beasts.

Dead or not, this is a striking photo. You were able to make him/her look good at the end.

I was searching for a pic with a "flying turtle", because they seems to fly in the blue ocean. And I found your pic. It is magic, better than what I was searching! I really like it!

I just commented but it hasn't shown up
Erm
WOW!
This makes me think either:
The turtle is on an adventure or journey and he is completely on his own, free from the rest of the world, no one interferring
OR
He has reached turtle heaven - looks very heavenly to me!
I also love the great detail of the scales
See you in the next life Mr. Turtle.
P.S I completely agree with what you said - '...as people today seem to be treating their beasts more like humans, and humans more like beasts.' Very true, unfortunately.

WOW 
This makes me think of either:
The turtle is on an adventure or journey somewhere, all on its own with no one to bother it at all, just getting on with his life, completely free
OR
He has actually reached turtle heaven - it looks pretty heavenly to me!
I particularly love the detail of his scales
See you in the next life Mr. Turtle

the bible says that only creatures with souls can go to heaven - and apparently animals do not have souls.
I cannot believe that because I am positive that my dog has a personality, a conscience, and thoughts turning in her head like a hamster wheel. If a wonderful creature like that cant go to heaven - then I have no hope for myself.
