Sydney Aquarium

One rainy day while we were exploring Circular Quay, we decided to hop on the ferry and visit the Sydney Aquarium!

So, I realized that I'm horrible at taking action shots or I need a better camera (like that would solve it). We spent a good part of the morning at the Aquarium.

I especially loved the tunnel (which I don't have a picture of) where you can see the fishies and the sharkies swimming above and around you!

Friendly dugong. Someday I will swim with them in Donsol or wherever.

Colorful fish...I only got pictures of a few because I was too busy looking. :)

Various colorful fish from Sydney Aquarium


Manta rays? These are two different kinds, note how the, uh, eyes and lips are different.

A picture of a ray swimming below a school of fish -- before I figured out the camera settings for low-light pictures.

Seahorse! And not just the ordinary kind. This one's leafy? weedy? ferny?

Sea turtle!

Sharks!

These dog sharks are resting on the ceiling of the aquarium tunnel (or floor, from their perspective) right where the vent causes warm (or was it cold?) water to flow into the aquarium.

I haven't been to the Manila Ocean Park. Is it anything like this?
