In the upper half, you'll see (top to bottom, left to right) Sea of Storms (Mare Crisium), Sea of Serenity (Mare Serenitatis), Sea of Tranquility (Mare Tranquillitatis), Sea of Fertility (Mare Foecunditatis) and Sea of Rains (Mare Imbrium).

Large turtle crossing the street
Turtles and tortoises are not uncommon here. The largest turtle I've ever seen, possibly a Snapper, was crossing the busy street near Whitman's Pond when I was biking home one day. Luckily, I happened to have my camera with me, but due to traffic and the crowd that quickly developed, this was the best shot I got.Exposure Time: 1/60 sec • F-Number: f/8.0 • ISO Speed Rating: 100 • Focal Length: 48.50 mm
