Georgia Aquarium Pictures - DUW

[rabernet]

Well, FINALLY, after the aquarium has been here a year and a half, we finally made it yesterday - thanks to my company, who was selling tickets for $10 each (normally $24 each) for our annual Sprint for Cancer fundraiser. Here are some pictures from yesterday!

Hammerhead


This picture was to give perspective to this huge wall where people were looking at the Whale Sharks:

Awesome pictures, Robin!!


The jellyfish are beautiful! And those "garden eels" are just so....well....they look like something out of a Dr. Seuss book! VERY cool!!!

And Karl looks handsome as ever!

Woah, Robin! You've got some major photo skills! I LOVE those garden eels! How COOL are they??? Judy's right--they are like something out of Dr. Seuss!

Pretty! Great photos, I love the hammerhead one.

Great pictures! I'll have to make a trip to see the aquarium in person.


Correction on your "River Fish" picture...

They are a mixture of rift lake cichlids from Lake Malawi in Africa. It looks mainly like large groups of mbuna and a few Malawi haps(Red Empress to be exact...lol), and I think I see a peacock in there.

<Just me being a fish nerd.

I would love to see more of their reef display if you have pictures!

I love aquariums! I am a fish lover before anything else (except maybe the cats). Looks like a good time! I thought Karl was Asian though????

Jason - you are probably correct - but they had them at the entrance of the River Scout exhibit - they were pretty nonetheless!

Kim, the sad thing was - we were through half the exhibits before I finally figured how to set the ISO speed to HI in order to take better pictures that weren't blurs of fish going by. Sadly, the beluga whale pictures were too blurry

Karl says thank you, thank you!

The garden eels were really cool, I kept thinking of how they looked like a lot of different "morphs"! I wanted to take one home!
