It is unbelievable how busy I have been since I returned from vacation, I have had barely enough time each evening to comment on some of the blogs that I follow. Today was a little slower so I figured that I would take this change to post some of the pictures that took when I visited the Ripley Aquarium in Gatlinburg.
The Ripley Aquarium is a huge Aquarium containing over 2,000,000 gallons of salt water, which is the home for thousands of fish. They claim that there are more fish in this Aquarium than there are people in Gatlinburg.
There are multiple floors to the Aquarium and several rooms. Tthe area that impressed me most was a large tunnel that you go through on a conveyor that takes you from one end of the tunnel to the other. The glass above and around you is about 8" thick but as clear as if you were looking outside your window. While traveling through the tunnel both large and small fish are swimming around you including several large sharks and stingrays.
I tried to capture some of the fish in these pictures, but the pictures do not even come close to what it is like to be there. I don't know what was more impressive the sharks or the look on children's faces as they watched these huge creatures swimming towards them.
If you visit Gatlinburg, the Ripley Aquarium is a must see, and an experience that you will remember for a very long time.
