GA Aquarium


I've never been to an aquarium in my life until my mentor and his wife brought me to GA aquarium. It was huge and there were different sections. I couldn't remember what we explored first. Let me just show you some of the beautiful creatures.

I think the rays and hammerhead sharks were the first that I saw and touched. They also have those colorful coelenterates. It's funny because they also have breaks and I couldn't resist taking a picture of the sign. They've got a lot of those freshwater fishes most of which came from the Amazon River. The very colorful ones are African fishes....


These Belugas are just so adorable. Everything about them just amazes me - the way they swim, their size, their grace.
Here's the friendly neighborhood - playful seals and otters, and cute penguins from the cold waters.To me, the most amazing is the Ocean Voyager. We walked through the acrylic tunnel and watched the whalesharks, groupers, sting rays and more swim right above us. There were about 6 million gallons of saltwater so they had to use acrylic to hold all that.
The groupers were just huge. I like the grouper on the right, it was always up for the cameras. I managed to take a shot of its face.

And a lot other wonderful creatures....

Thanks! I appreciate that.

In my world the sun is shining 'coz I prefer to see the bright side but there can also be little storms just like anybody else's world. The good thing is I seem to have always been able to get past the storm.
