I like to visit aquariums because they’re so much fun! Where else for a few bucks can you be transported to a different world? I can easily lose myself for most of a day in a good aquarium.
The finest aquarium I’ve ever visited is the Monterey Bay Aquarium in Monterey, California; the Two Oceans Aquarium at the V&A waterfront of Cape Town comes awfully close to Monterey for its quality of exhibits. I really enjoyed its main tank, this massive display that you see in today’s featured photos entitled, “The Ocean Basket Kelp Forest”, including a kelp forest and hundreds of beautiful fish. I especially like how the “God-beams” of light penetrate the water in these photos.
