I was looking arounf my harddrive and I rediscovered these images. It was a fun day at the aquarium in Denver. Some of these shots can no longer be duplicated as the ownership of the aquarium has changed and along with it, the exibits. Too bad...

This exibit now has a huge sign on the inside of the tank selling "swim with the fish" time. A huge mistake I think.

The shark tank at the Denver Aquarium is kind of unique in that this area has a curved wall that goes over your head.

Not my best all time image, but I love it just the same. My kids are pictured here, my son with his mouth open because he just saw this shark at this angle for the first time. I think I was laughing when I took the picture.

It took all of my son's strength to get this close to the glass. Then he made a face at the shark!

Sometimes it's fun to look back at your old images. I had a laugh and hopefully you will to.

Great shots. I love the sharks. The GW is my all time favorite. That octopus is cool too. I think that's a Sand Tiger Shark with your daughter not the Bull. I don't know what the one behind it is though. But the one that's in both shots with your kids looks like the STS.
