January 1st, 2011: Monterey Bay Aquarium

There is nothing as sublime as a jellyfish floating through the water. But nothing is as it seems: this photo is upside down. They sink and undulate head first. See a video on my photo website: http://denverphotography.com/, or on Vimeo:

The Monterey Aquarium has got to be the best I've visited; the others being Seattle, Denver and Atlanta. The other highlight is the big tank with kelp spanning multiple stories and a ball of tight silver fish constantly circling in unison.
