Highlights from the Georgia Aquarium
About two weeks ago, we visited Atlanta, and one of our days was spent at the Georgia Aquarium. Here are highlights.

Re: Highlights from the Georgia Aquarium
Here are three more... the bottom photo is of a Whale Shark... the largest fish in the world. It is hard to gauge his size, until you realize that the silver fish in the foreground is as long as my arm! The Baluga Whales were particularly entertaining... one of them was constantly rubbing the glass as he swam by... he was obviously aware of the onlookers, and showing off!

Re: Highlights from the Georgia Aquarium
The grouper in the photo below is almost as large as I am. The African Cichlids are a colorful group... and the guy at the bottom has such a weird shaped head!

Re: Highlights from the Georgia Aquarium
The jellyfish were particularly beautiful! That's not my kid... just someone who was especially enchanted with them. And the reef gives you some idea of the size of many of the exhibits... in fact, the reef is one of the smaller ones!

Re: Highlights from the Georgia Aquarium
Simply amazing, Kitkat! I see a fair number of belugas, but not from underwater. I'm amazed at the curvature of their spine on a power stroke. Thanks for sharing,
