Okinawa Aquarium

[David]

If you saw my post from Shuri Castle, I actually visited Okinawa's Charumi Aquarium before the castle. Here are some shots from the aquarium.

1

At a gas station on the way, this old Shooting Star (I think) was just sitting in an adjacent parking lot.

Some of the aquarium lighting made for great shots. But a lot of the glass was smudgy (there were lots of people there that day and it was pretty hot), so between the smudges and high-ISO noice, some of the images are just soft.

Trippy squid!

4

Whale Shark!

5

Dang it, Manatee, can't you see that the sign says not to tap the glass? Can't you just go be cute?

6

That's better.

7

Best way to end a hot day in a crowded aquarium? Sweetened beans under shaved ice!

That manatee's taking the mick!

Number 2 for me. Softness doesn't matter in this case.
