As I continued exploring the aquarium, new facets of the exhibit brought wonderful sights. Despite not being able to rememebr the details of the trip, each image of this series teased a fresh smile at the sight of the collection of fish weaving through the coral. I hope you enjoy the collection of colorful fish exploring their currated home.
As I was thumbing through my vast collection of mobile uploads, I stumbled upon a series of pictures that appear to come from an aquarium on August 6th in 2011. At first glance, I thought these images were taken from inside the Baltimore Aquarium, though upon further examination, I discovered I took these pictures at the American Museum of Natural History, specifically the Hall of Ocean Life exhibit according to the embedded GPS coordinates. While I don’t remember the trip, I enjoyed studying these images.
Meeting Place
Sanctuary
When I spotted some clown fish, my mind compared them to Nemo and his father from Finding Nemo. The fact that they were swimming in and around some coral further cemented the comparison between these two actual fish and their animated twins. Hopefully, you can enjoy the beauty of these swimming critters.
Testing the Waters
Just like Nemo's father, who teased the wider ocean, this picture seems to capture the real-life version as he's testing the realm beyond the safety of his portion of the small reef.
Upward Trail
As I explored the exhibit, I came upon a stretch of the cultivated reef with some beautiful features. It also featured a group of fish swimming about the small reef akin to how a caravan would ride up hill as they're nearing their destination.
