undershot

Fish, though common, were the most enjoyable thing to take photos of at the aquarium. They all looked so dismal. I’m sure they aren’t – they all had very large tanks, except for the sunfish. His face was eerily expressionless, the effect magnified by his human-like skin and eyes. He swam very slowly around his relatively small, padded (!) tank. I hope they have memories as short as their golden cousins.

The expression of this smaller fish particularly interested me. Sadly the photo was blurry, so here’s a simple trace.

The aquarium is a fun place to take photos! But it’s difficult – very low light, and the windows tend to be murky (all those, except the crabs, are taken through glass).

The otters were very cute. I didn’t know they came in a large size! But they’re so fast that I didn’t get any very interesting shots. Don’t be fooled into thinking I had to be quick to take the photo of the yawning turtle.

Last week we went to Kibune to hunt for noodles. Jodie wrote an excellent report on it. My contribution:
