Sooo guess where I went this evening?


Expect many more photos.

Your work always never fails to impress me Jack.

Those sea jellies make good desktop wallpapers (and screen savers).

wow just checked out your flickr page. Amazing pictures.

Amazing pictures. I can't wait to check it out myself.

Stunning photos, Jack!

I think that many of us are going to be tourists...in our own town. The $30 for adults may be a bit pricey, but I think it's worth it to escape reality for a few hours and live in another (underwater) world. The jellyfish are truly mesmerizing.

Thanks everyone!
The photos of the sharks didn't turn out quite as amazing. Didn't bring a tripod and only the very well-lit displays ended up being super photogenic. Can't deprive this thread of sharks though - you all deserve it.

Ok less artsy stuff now - here are some Alewives

here is the tunnel

and here is something that really reminded me of the movie "The Truman Show"

I like that there is a single point of light over the "Dangerous Lagoon" which mimics the sun. It creates the impression that the photos are of the ocean, not an aquarium.

The aquarium looks fantastic...and great photos to capture a bit of the moments.

I am going to do this in bits, but lets start with the photos that turned out the best; jellyfish...don't worry, sharks will come soon enough.

Amazing photos, even though jellyfish creep me out.

Amazing photos, even though jellyfish creep me out.

But touching them is as soothing as rubbing aloe over an open cut.

How large is the aquarium? Does it take very long to walk through?

How large is the aquarium? Does it take very long to walk through?

According to the front page article by Craig White, "someone pressed for time could appreciate most of the exhibits in an hour, but a couple hours will give most people time to slow down and enjoy it all more thoroughly."

almost done the outside skywalk.

long line up to get in. the line went around the building on a rainy day.

soon the doors to the skywalk will be reopened for people to walk to the skydome

 

[whatever]

When I passed by around two yesterday that lineup stretched around the building, back down the driveway, and along Bremner past the MTCC. I'd say the opening weekend has been a success, from the looks of it.
