Yes it's a pretty large Aquarium with many, many exhibits. There is so much to see there. I could easily fill up my 8gig memory card there. Didn't get as many shot this last trip as I had hoped as my daughter is a lot quicker now than the last time we went when she was only 6months old.

I love that aquarium... I'll have to dig out some photos I took there. Youve done a great job on these. From the silhouettes of people enjoying the aquarium to the exposure on the fish and sealife. Nicely captured.

I have been here also....on my honeymoon....22 years ago.....It has always been among the best aquariums in the world and from I saw there...I would agree. Nice shots to show some scale in places

This is one of my favorite places to visit! I have many pics from here myself. I really like your shots here and how it really gives me a sense of the large scale of the kelp tank. I hope to go back really soon, without my girls actually so I can take lots of great photos and not feel rushed! I have two and they always want to go in two different directions.
