The Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta, Georgia was truly wonderful to visit. I only had a couple hours while I was there, and I would happily spend an entire day there exploring. This first shot is a moving sidewalk through a tunnel in one of the largest exhibits. As you move through the tunnel you are amazed not only by the size of the place, but of the wonderful variety of sea creatures swimming above and around you.
Below is the panoramic viewing window of the same exhibit. I did not have my current camera at the time, so I was unable to get the entire view in one shot, but it should give you an idea of what it felt like to be there.
The whale sharks are the pride and joy of the aquarium, and their size and grace was beautiful to see. Here is a close up of one. They love to swim in huge arcs around the perimeter of their tank and then swoop in front of the viewing glass as their tour takes them past the onlookers.
This was a wonderful place to visit, and I encourage you to stop by if you are ever in the neighborhood. I hope I cam visit it again with a camera better able to capture its beauty.
Great perspective on this ones!
