of museum-quality exhibitions. This
fascinating 12,000 square-foot exhibition was
created by a team of experts in the fields of
sharks, aquariums, ocean cinematography
and world-class exhibitions.
Enjoy the sea life I was able to capture with my own camera:
I like to think of these jelly fish as nature's take on modern art. I couldn't get enough of them... so etherial and captivating........
Need a little "staycation" this week? Go to the Georgia Aquarium... it will take your breath away!
