Jellies at Toronto’s new aquarium

December 1, 2013 by Created by RCW

Have to work on my photograph a little more to improve my photos of the jelly fish exhibit at Ripley’s Aquarium of Canada.

The scenes are so dark, I may need my tripod. Alternatively, this could be a good chance to play with my macro lens.

Coral reef at Toronto’s new aquarium

: The background lights gave the ethereal jellies an angry glow

: Deadly fingers reach into the water for prey

: A single light shone through the ghosts as they floated by

: As though wafting on a breeze, the jelly sank ever further

: Like an alien ship, the jelly pulsed by the glass

: Different tendrils performing different functions

: A caress as two jellies pass

: Two jellies miss a collision

: Mostly white or translucent, some were infused with red

: Hither and yon, the jellies swam across the scene

: A self-portrait against the reflecting wall

As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, the Ripley’s Aquarium of Canada finally opened in Toronto.

Today, I am posting some photos from their coral reef exhibits.

: The large trio test the waters below the reef

: All you could hear from the children was “Dory!”

: The unicorn of fish

: Dorsal fin is down

: The sheer variety of fish, large and small was amazing

I love aquariums, both the smaller home version and the larger amusement park versions. Thus, after bemoaning the absence of one in Toronto (the largest frickin’ city in Canada), you can only imagine my enthusiasm when the Ripley’s company said they would build one in Toronto near two other major city landmarks, the CN Tower and the Rogers Centre.

Well, last month, the Ripley’s Aquarium of Canada finally opened, and on Wednesday, I finally visited it.

Over the next few days, I will display some of the photos I took at the aquarium. Today, I’ll focus on the amazing walk-through shark tank.
