Click the photo to see a few more shots and more information about the Churaumi Aquarium in Okinawa, Japan. I found this via Yahoo!’s main page. Apparently it’s the world’s largest tank and holds four whale sharks (like the big fella front and center), the largest of all fish species.

I love shots like this. I love aquariums and the chance to see ocean life like this. I loved the story of 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea as a kid. Jules Verne’s plot itself didn’t grab me so much as the world he created in the depths of the sea.

I remember many nights going to sleep and dreaming I was aboard the Nautilus, surrounded by nothing but blue. On a good night, I still have that dream.
