rfmcdonaldI visited Ripley's Aquarium last months with my parents. It was one of the few major tourist sights in the downtown that I had not seen, and my parents were curious, so off we went!
I can't say that Ripley's Aquarium has much scientific value, but I can attest to the fact that it does an excellent job of displaying the vast diversity of marine life, piscine and otherwise. I enjoyed seeing these creatures, well-adapted to their differing aquatic environments, on display in something like their native habitats. I only hope they felt likewise.
These photos are less than half of the photos I've just posted on Flickr and Instagram, which in turn constitute half of the photos I will be posting. More there now, and there will be more--the rest, I think--tomorrow.
