I don’t usually post shots that were taken in zoos or aquariums, but the jellyfish at the Monterey Bay Aquarium in California are so spectacular that I had to share. Each tank in the jellies exhibit is a work of art in itself and lit to illuminate the translucent beauty of the animal. The jellyfish in this photo are called sea nettles. They live off the California coast and they do sting, but aren’t venomous enough to cause death in a human.
I was there a while back and got to see a 6 foot great white shark swimming with the tuna. They put it back in the ocean once it killed two fish in the tank. Good memories.
Were they playing a lot of Frank Zappa when you entered the jellyfish section. That was one of the things I remember about it but I do remember loving that part of the aquarium the most.

They might not kill you, but if they sting you might prefer death…;)
Love the pic!
Me thinks you’ve stopped taking photos and started painting your pics! Incredible!
