Christmas and Fish

This Christmas was my first away from my family in New Jersey. Each year, somehow we’ve managed to fly or drive for a few crazy days. This year, we decided to take a week in January instead.
Charles parents drove down for New Years and stayed a few weeks visiting with friends. We went with them to the new aquarium downtown. It has been a long time since I’ve been to an aquarium, but this place is wonderful. There is an entire two story wall where you can peer into the open ocean and watch the whale-sharks and scores of different fish swim past. It was a great place for pictures, but I found myself fascinated with the interaction of people’s silhouettes and the fish. This last picture is Charles photographing a hammer-head shark, who swam straight at him and then turned at the glass and swam on- how great is that!?
