During a early morning trip to Stanley Park, I decided to visit the Vancouver Aquarium, self-described as a “non-profit society dedicated to the conservation of aquatic life.”
The aquarium is beautiful, jam-packed with energy – school kids, teachers and families lined up with me for its 10 a.m. opening.
While I was there, I checked out the Canadian premiere of “Sea Monsters Revealed,” an exhibition which looks at world’s most amazing (and giant) sea creatures from the inside (literally) out. The exhibit uses “plastination” to showcase the dissected bodies of the marine creatures – an incredibly interesting way to learn about the unusual “monsters” beneath the waters.
Another set of very nice shots.
Thank you Michael!
Wonderful photos! Sounds like a great place to visit! 🙂
It is. I bet it felt like you were kinda there? 😛
I love that photo of the frog! Such great detail!
I was really surprised the glass didn’t reflect in these photos 🙂
Hard not to be taken in by the jellyfish.
Haha! Well, they are indeed photogenic!
I’ve been to Stanley Park, Emily, but not to the aquarium. I LOVE aquariums (and am familiar with the one in Atlanta). The plastination would be totally fascinating to me, since I’ve seen what they do to bodies!
OOOH I have to google the one in Atlanta. This was actually my FIRST time to an aquarium, and I loved it.
The frog is so cute 🙂
