It Wasn't What I Thought It Would Be

Recently, my brother-in-law came to visit us. One particular day we had NO plans, and could not think of anything to do. We decided to visit our local aquarium (I know, exciting). I really wasn't into it, it was very small, and quite frankly it looked lame from the outside. Boy were we surprised when we walked in. Yes, it was small, but I could not believe the number of tanks and displays they had, or the diversity in species. I especially think it was designed for children. Many of the exhibits were at eye level and very interesting. The colors were magnificent. Not expecting to have fun or see anything photo worthy, I did not bring my dSLR. I brought my little point n shoot camera and took a few handheld, flashless shots in low light. Not as sharp as I would have liked, but flash photography would not have captured anything special. Here they are, enjoy.

I forget there is an entire world under the sea. Allah truly is amazing.

The photos are beautiful. Seems like you and I had a similar experience. Sharjah, where I live, just opened up an aquarium a few months ago and my family and I finally went. It was very disappointing. My younger children were excited but I was wanting something like Baltimore's aquarium.
