Took a few hours to visit the Monterey Bay Aquarium this weekend, and these are but a few of the highlights.

Hi again :D

The Jelly Fish displays at Monterey Bay are a MUST SEE,
April took me there two years ago, I tell you I was in awe of what I saw.

Some of those Jelly fish are so big I'd be absolutely freakin out if I ever found myself in the sea with them :uhoh

My favourites where the ones that lit up and there was a smaller tank in the shape of a Port Hole that had some really tiny ones in it.

The ones in your last shot, I don't recall seeing those when I was there.
Interesting shape they look like ghostly Trilobite fossils :D

Image number #4 is a beauty :clap .... Skippy :D

Great shots! I love snapping jellyfish as well. Tricky to do in such low light, though.

Very cool. The jellies were my favorite there too. I spent about an hour just staring at the large display.

I took a few shots myself that I can post on this thread... let me know if that's OK with you. I don't want to hijack your thread.

Ah - didn't realize I might be hijacking. It it considered impolite 'round these parts to post images into someone else's thread?
