Sea Turtle Facebook Cover

Sea turtles are born on land buried in the sand with 1000 or so brothers and sisters. They hatch and begin the crawl instinctively toward the ocean, where predators are eagerly awaiting. Roughly the size of your palm, they can eventually grow to 15 feet long and live up to 100 years, but only if they survive the first day. Female turtles that survive will instinctively return to the beach where they were born to lay eggs, sometimes within feet of where they hatched many years earlier.

Sea turtles have been regular subject of tattoos since long before the current popularity of body ink. It was traditional for seamen in the Navy to get a sea turtle tattoo as an indicator that they had crossed the equator.

City skyline series: Pittsburgh Facebook Cover

The steel city, Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, is one of the great cities of the Industrial Revolution.

Today it's become a paradise for research and technology. With several high quality universities, and a variety of high tech employers, it's one of the few cities to successfully make the shift from blue to white collar.

It also has a rich history with American sports. The Steelers, Pirates, and Penguins were all founding members of their leagues and all don the black and gold. In total, the city has more than a dozen championships under its belt.
