This perfectly timed picture shows what might be the most law-abiding animal kingdom citizen. Driven to obey traffic regulations exactly, this conscientious turtle has unwittingly produced a funny scenario. The picture perfectly reflects the irony of a turtle adopting the "slow" sign very literally, generating what has to be the most patient traffic congestion in history. Though it could be a small exaggeration, the photographer's account of the week-long traffic wait gives the matter a wonderful layer of humour. The turtle's naturally slow pace and unwavering dedication to following road safety regulations produce an entertaining and very commendable situation. Modern traffic systems and this ancient creature's relentless crawl remind us that occasionally we should slow down and savour the odd small events of life.
