There’s something so beautiful and mystifying about the underwater world. Its majesty has always been both breathtaking and eerie to me. Some of my most fascinating dreams and scariest nightmares involved the glassy aquatic universe. Maybe that’s why having the chance to examine it in all of its intricate detail safely tucked behind glass was so appealing. Or maybe it was the chance to bring my boys along to witness their reactions to their wall art coming to life. Either way, visiting Ripley’s Aquarium of Canada was a fascinating experience. I only wish I could bring all of my gear to capture each delicately crafted creature in all its glory. Alas, these will have to do. However if you haven’t been, I highly recommend it!
