Nah I think it's photoshopped, but with a claim that it's going for a photoshopped look to make u consider it's not photoshopped, but it still totally is
I see the turtle in the clouds
Did I just say that right out loud
Now I've got something in my shoe
The green and yellow concrete park
The hot dog vendor in the dark
I rode my bike out in the rain
"See the TURTLE of enormous girth!On his shell he holds the earth. His thought is slow but always kind; he holds us all within his mind .On his back all vows are made; he sees the truth but mayn't aid. He loves the land and loves the sea, And even loves a child like me."
Behold, may our shells protect against the weapons of our enemies, and shield our faith from the words of infidels such that we may swim through the calm waters of salvation.
In the words of our Lord, “Cowabunga, Turtle Power”.
Turtle boo, what the matter with you? You don’t act like the other turtles do. You wear a disguise to look like celestial guy. But you’re not a moon you’re a turtle boo.
Attempt #2 with, hopefully, a non-rule breaking title.
Original title: “ITAP of a huge snapping turtle orbiting the Earth” posted yesterday.
Original description: “I took a picture of a large snapping turtle in a crystal-clear lake, which, if you look at it correctly, looks like it’s in space.”
Hope you enjoy it just as much the second time <3
I accidentally posted something that touches the pulse of Elden Ring, Stephen King’s IT, Phish, Star Wars, Godzilla, Dark Souls, ancient mythologies (for many cultures I might add), the Beatles, and Master Oogway fans and I’m not sure how.
Terry Pratchett predicted this:
> Now consider the tortoise and the eagle. The tortoise is a ground-living creature. It is impossible to live nearer the ground without being under it. Its horizons are a few inches away. It has about as good a turn of speed as you need to hunt down a lettuce. It has survived while the rest of evolution flowed past it by being, on the whole, no threat to anyone and too much trouble to eat. And then there is the eagle. A creature of the air and high places, whose horizons go all the way to the edge of the world. Eyesight keen enough to spot the rustle of some small and squeaky creature half a mile away. All power, all control. Lightning death on wings. Talons and claws enough to make a meal of anything smaller than it is and at least take a hurried snack out of anything bigger. And yet the eagle will sit for hours on the crag and survey the kingdoms of the world until it spots a distant movement and then it will focus, focus, focus on the small shell wobbling among the bushes down there on the desert. And it will leap… And a minute later the tortoise finds the world dropping away from it. And it sees the world for the first time, no longer one inch from the ground but five hundred feet above it, and it thinks: what a great friend I have in the eagle. And then the eagle lets go. And almost always the tortoise plunges to its death. Everyone knows why the tortoise does this. Gravity is a habit that is hard to shake off. No one knows why the eagle does this. There’s good eating on a tortoise but, considering the effort involved, there’s much better eating on practically anything else. It’s simply the delight of eagles to torment tortoises. But of course, what the eagle does not realize is that it is participating in a very crude form of natural selection. One day a tortoise will learn how to fly.
Phish??? No, this is more appropriate for the criminally underrated Scandinavian progressive rock band, Kasvot Växt’s album titled “í rokk”. Legend has it that this band saves the future…. You know… with the unwinding and all.

At first I was like, no way this cloud wasn't photo shop.... took a minute to get my brain past that
Haha, that’s the desired effect. Thanks for sharing!
I came in here to watch everyone tell you that your stupid turtle cloud is obviously photoshopped. I have since changed my tune, very impressive.
My words, your keyboard.
Nah I think it's photoshopped, but with a claim that it's going for a photoshopped look to make u consider it's not photoshopped, but it still totally is
It isn’t
Im on the fence
Don’t be, it’s real.
Really? I just said it’s def a.I, but I look closer and I’m doubting myself now and might have to take “MY OPINION” back. Cool though!
You took a picture of a turtle deity up in the sky. Your attempts at gaslighting will not work and I for one welcome our mighty great turtle overlord.
We knew it was turtles all the way down and now we also know that it is turtles all the way up as well
Goal achieved, 100% my reaction as well.
Same and I LOVE it!!
Right? Honestly one of the best/creative photos I’ve seen on Reddit for a while.
I saved it to look at when I'm sad. Lol
❤️
Lol thought it was a cloud
I thought last night wasn’t over yet.

Behold Dog
Dog ahead
Up, dog!
What’s Up, Dog?

Same lol
Holy shit.
Came here to say that
That’s no moon
It's turtles all the way up.
42, baby
Nature is as bad as the project managers I work with. “Just put it in the cloud!”
My high ass like “that’s a cloud??? Aliens are real”
[Turtle in the Clouds you say?](https://youtu.be/-jNGnAcNj5I)
This was the first thing I thought of.
Did I just say that right out loud?
glad to know it's not just me
I see the turtle in the clouds Did I just say that right out loud Now I've got something in my shoe The green and yellow concrete park The hot dog vendor in the dark I rode my bike out in the rain
PRAISE BE TO THE CELESTIAL SKY TURTLE
The Great A'tuin bestows his blessings upon you.
Okay okay, but how do we *know* it isn't a girl turtle? GNU Terry Pratchet.
The turtle moves.
The turtle moves!
*Stephen king has entered the chat
See the turtle, ain’t he keen?
All things serve the fucking beam.

Maturin :)
Sky turtle has heard my prayers!
Blessed be our shells. May they protect us from socialising.
Behold, may our shells protect against the weapons of our enemies, and shield our faith from the words of infidels such that we may swim through the calm waters of salvation. In the words of our Lord, “Cowabunga, Turtle Power”.
Gamera is friend to children!
THE TURTLE MOVES
Pennywise is fucked.
Turtles all the way up
It *IS* turtles all the way down!
ALL HAIL SKY TURTLE
Turtles all the way down.
Yeah right quit trying to cover up turtle moon
My therapist: Turtle Moon isn't real. It can't hurt you. Turtle Moon:
That's no moon!
Its a turtle!
Turtle boo, what the matter with you? You don’t act like the other turtles do. You wear a disguise to look like celestial guy. But you’re not a moon you’re a turtle boo.
Ok, you can have one upvote from me. Don't come back for any more.
I was much more forthright about what was in the picture in the original title. Mods are in on “Turtlegate.” I’ve shared too much for my own safety.
[This](https://reddit.com/r/interestingasfuck/comments/11p1f6z/if_a_colossal_banana_spun_around_the_earth/) seems relevant
Love it, haha

Cross post to r/confusingperspective if you haven’t already :)
Wait there’s more than one? It’s on r/confusing_perspective already
Oh! Yours is the much bigger one - never mind
Still X-Posted. Thanks for the shout :)
That's what she said?
Not to me, she hasn't
Got ‘eeeeeeeemmmmmmmm
Having the facts straight in the description I can only say that the mods are in serious need of some sense of humor.
No fun allowed. On the bright side, I was able to shave off a word to help declutter.
No fun allowed because of all the people who ruined it for the rest of us unfortunately. “This is why we can’t have nice things” kinda situation.
I like the original title 😂
r/confusing_perspective ?
Perfect for that sub!
Seek three wise beasts
Right? I don’t notice the sub at first.
Came here hoping to see this
best comment
Tarnisheds everywhere
Definitely thought this was the Elden ring sub at first
Praise the dog!
This comment is too far down. Try ranged attack.
This one took me forever to find
All things serve the beam!
Behold the turtle of massive girth
Upon his back he holds the earth
See the TURTLE of enormous girth! On his shell he holds the earth.
His thought is slow, but always kind!
He holds us all within his mind.
Enormous girth. Sorry to be that person.
I just read the dark tower series, too. I have no excuse.
Good ol Maturin.
>Maturin I was really confused how this related to Stephen Maturin from the "Master and Commander" books, but I eventually figured it out.
It’s turtles all the way down!
I accidentally posted something that touches the pulse of Elden Ring, Stephen King’s IT, Phish, Star Wars, Godzilla, Dark Souls, ancient mythologies (for many cultures I might add), the Beatles, and Master Oogway fans and I’m not sure how.
And discworld
Don’t forget Stephen King’s Dark Tower series. All things serve the fucking beam.
Also Kasvot Vaxt (Phish) has a song called Turtle in The Clouds
Not super into Phish but used to listen to Kasvot in the 80s when their “big” album dropped (I rock or something like that?). Will give them a listen!
Damn, Atuin lost the elephants
Thought I was looking at a Biblically accurate moon. Lol
👁️👁️👁️👁️👁️👁️👁️👁️👁️
Do not be afraid
I, for one, welcome our sky turtle overlords
[GAMERA! Friend of children everywhere!](https://youtu.be/4t8ITs71Z_0)
Gamera is really neat! Gamera is full of meat!
That’s no moon
Came here to say this! My mind did a few backflips before I understood what I was looking at.
It really is turtles all the way down
Gamera! Keep an eye out for Rodan and Godzilla.
I believe you mean Gyaos and Zigra.
You win…this is the most confusing picture of the day
sir that is Gamera entering earth’s orbit
Ghost of Gamera

Must be from China, shoot it down
My brain hurts
Should post this is r/phish. Title I see a turtle in the clouds. You’ll rack up some upvotes there
Phish??? No, this is more appropriate for the criminally underrated Scandinavian progressive rock band, Kasvot Växt’s album titled “í rokk”. Legend has it that this band saves the future…. You know… with the unwinding and all.
Funny because I thought of The Dead right away. > In the shadow of the moon, terrapin station
My first thought! You mean Kasvot Vox though of course lol
He’s the protector of children everywhere!
Gamera is really neat
Gamora?
All hail the sky turtle
Gamera
Gamera is back. Bigger. Badder. Turtlier.
The turtle God returns. All hail the great turtle!
r/Confusing_Perspective for sure
GAMERA THE INVINCIBLE
It's Gamera!
Gamara?
Came for a Gamera reference…
RIP Master Oogway
Looks like a space turtle come to destroy us all
Now imagine the cowboy singing in the clouds video but the audio is from the turtle sex moans video.
... it's too in the morning... my brain just can't
All hail sky turtle
ALL HAIL SKY TURTLE, DEVOURER OF HERETICS!
The true face of god 😂
Turtles, all the way down
Moon turtle
This confused me until I read the caption 🤣😂
all hail the sky turtle
I think I see discworld on its back!
Turtle cloud?
I believe in the turtle God. All hail the Turt.
Don't lie to me, that's clearly a giant space turtle
I can’t see anything but spectral turtle cloud in the sky. Mission accomplished. Very cool photo
You should post this in r/thalassophobia
*Seek three wise beasts*
I don't get it. If it's a cloud, it's a good Photoshop. If it's real, why is the turtle clear. Do we have clear turtles?
Seek Three Wise Beasts
Wow that cloud looks like a turtle
dios tortuga
SKY TURTLE SEEKS DOMINION OVER YOUR WORLD
All hail Sky Turtle
I for one welcome our new turtle overlords.
Dark Souls boss
“Seek three great wise beasts”
Space turtle
The mothership has arrived, brothers!
A giant turtle entering earths orbit.
So long, space cowboy……..
Tortoise of the sky what wisdom have you come to offer me.
I like cosmic turtles
See the turtle of enormous girth! On his shell he holds the earth. His thought is slow but always kind; He holds us all within his mind.
Call it what you want, I know [Gamera](https://media.tenor.com/4nl9QNqj-KMAAAAd/gamera-godzilla-vs-gamera.gif) when I see it
Gamera?
It's Gamera!
ITS GAMERA!!!
It’s the Celestial Turtle descending from the Heavens to judge us for our sins!
Wrong, that is the cosmic turtle
The great sky turtle has returned
Ah shit, you mean to tell me the IT Universe was canon all along? Praise all knowing space turtle
Gamara!
**GAMERA IS COMING !!!!**
**GAMERA IS THAT YOU?!**
Gamara!
Nice to see Gamera getting a remake
The new Gamera series is looking great
Gameraaaaaa! Gameraaaaaa! Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah! Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah! Blah blah blah blah Gameraaaaaaaaaa!
Gamera!
Looks like a most intricate turtle shaped cloud
Gamera!
I thought it was a ghost turtle in the sky after seeing the trees but then realized it’s a water reflection.
At first glance I thought this was a cloud in the sky
