Over the last two weeks, the man behind this site has visited both the
Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach, CA and
Sea World in San Diego. Here are a few of the more than 30 pictures I took - combined - at both locations.
My visit to the aquarium was on Aug. 14. Among the highlights were a visit to Lorikeet Forest to see exotic tropical birds, an up-close view of sharks in a large outdoor tropical tank, and special displays emphasizing jellyfish. In addition, the aquarium had photo displays about human impacts on the water table and water levels, several short films on sea life, and education on marine animal care.
The trip to Sea World was ten days later (this past Monday). Most of my time was spent traveling to, and seeing, five of the six shows on offer. This included the world-famous Shamu show (killer whale), as well as a dolphin show and sea lions doing parodies of popular TV programs. I have no photos from any of these; instead, I decided to photograph more sea creatures. What you see here are a flamingo display I saw on the way to the Shamu show, and a walrus that lives in the Wild Arctic display.
Finally, I would like to congratulate myself on my 300th official post! (I have made more, but I threw away about 75 of them about two years ago as they had no relevance to the general subject of this blog.) Thanks to all for reading and paying attention to my work.
