Ripley’s Aquarium in the Smokies

On our last day in Gatlinburg we visited Ripley’s Aquarium in the Smokies. I prefer the Tennessee Aquarium in Chattanooga, but the glass tunnel underneath the Ripley’s aquarium is really cool.

In the next picture we’re on an upper level shooting down through the water and into the tunnel. You know how there are catfish and dogfish? Katie said these were peoplefish.

I didn’t get many good photos due to the lighting challenges. It was pretty dark in most areas, and the flash tended to bounce off the glass. I like this out of focus shot with the ceiling lights dancing off the ripples in the water.
