WWF Australia Showing the View of the Reef from a Turtle’s Point of View.
A GoPro was secured to the back of the Sea Turtle as part of a campaign to raise awareness for the declining health of the Great Barrier Reef.
The reef is UNESCO listed and although passed without the “in danger” title, pollution and human development are steering the reef toward this direction in the next couple of years.
The GoPro was eventually shaken off by the Turtle and was collected by divers.

Just Like Fire by Pink
Pink has never been a blockbuster star the way other divas of her era have. We’re much more likely to see a performance from Taylor Swift, or a third one from Beyonce, at the Super Bowl, for example, than from Pink. But sixteen years after her debut studio album, Pink has demonstrated a staying power worthy of respect. Some may attribute this to the strong firebrand persona she’s maintained over the years, which comes through on her new song Just Like Fire, from the soundtrack to the film Alice: Through The Looking Glass. The song has self-assertive lyrics delivered in a somewhat sentimental tone, with a grandiose chorus that reminds me of Katy Perry’s Roar. I probably won’t end up seeing the movie, but I won’t mind if this song comes on my pop music Pandora playlist.
