Sharkweek here with more photography. My latest adventure was the Monterey Bay Aquarium in Monterey, California. I live in the same county and actually volunteered here fron 2009 - 2014 but never lost my love for it as it stays one of my favorite places.

There are quite a few models hung from the ceiling throughout the buildings. They are all 1:1 true to scale.
