Lives Under the Sea
Monterey Bay Aquarium has some amazing exhibitions of sea lives! I always know about this famous aquarium in the sea-side town of Monterey, CA, and I know all my friends have visited there. I was like, how impressive can an aquarium get? Well, it turns out, it's a total knock-out.
In order to keep a reasonable download speed, I try to limit the number of photos in my each photo post to less than ten. In this age of information fragmentation, it's hard to assume anyone, no matter how close he/she is, to have enough patience to look at over more than ten photos at a time. If an event has more than ten photos that are worth sharing, like this Monterey trip, I'll break it down into multiple posts.
The aquarium was founded by the famous Packard family.
It is a remarkable engineering feat to recreate the sunlight, the wave, and the entire under-sea eco-system.
Though some fishes might exist in different levels of food-chain, they will be fed properly so that the big ones won't just eat up the smaller ones. Their aggression behaviors are much reduced in this environment.
This hall is awe-inspiring, a great venue for late-night kids sleep-over parties and late-afternoon wine tasting events. The big fish in sight, has an enormous head that seems to come from a much bigger body. It looks like a big fish-head without body.
After mating, they keep each other in good company.

Shooting tropical fish is a physically-exhausting job, because they move too fast and it's vey difficult to focus. Once in a while, some more stupid ones just float there still.
Wish it were swimming slower
This hall has the crown-jewel of Monterey Bay Aquarium, jelly fishes. Boy, they look like a fantasy dream, a very blue one. Is this how Flickr got inspiration for its pink-on-blue logo?
Like it? A donation or tip would go a long way.
