Monterey Bay Aquarium - II

Aquaria these days always have at least one tank (sometimes many) of jellyfish. These are lit in such a way to provide a strong contrast between the animals and the background.

In April this year, we took Seamus to the Monterey Bay Aquarium during his spring break. There are still some old buildings preserved along cannery row.

Our last stop on the way back to the cool and wet Northwest is the Atlanta Aquarium. As in most of these places, the jelly fish are among the first things you encounter and they are almost always under colored lights to make them look really cool.
