Pan-hinged Terrapins, turtle-like creatures seeking up the sun.
Out for a walk in the woods, I found an old abandoned shack that was disintegrating. The most recent inhabitants appeared to be raccoons or squirrels…there was a bird’s nest. I love rusty things, so I enhanced this hinge for Slider Sunday. Happy SS and New Year!
I photographed this lizard on the island of Penang, in Malaysia. I wondered if it had suffered a broken tail, given its sharply hinged appearance. However, when the lizard moved away, its tail seemed perfectly normal.

Kruger National Park
Hinged Terrapins are typically observed on exposed rocks, logs or at the water's edge and this is the first one I have seen feeding on plant material some distance away from its natural environment. This photo was taken a week or so after the first summer rains and the grass was new growth.
Ornate door hinge at the Sandringham church of St Mary Magdelene, Norfolk. The church is said to date back to the 1500s but saw considerable restoration in the second half of the 1800s.
The brickwork is carrstone, a 70 million year old sandstone laid down when this part of Norfolk was covered by a warm sea. The attractive, but soft, red-brown stone was much used locally as a building material.
