I visited Georgia Aquarium when I went to Georgia, USA, in 2016. A very nice aquarium overall.
I’ve shared three pictures this time. I previously shared another picture in the February PotM earlier this year.

Picture of the Month — July 2019
These two photos are taken in May, 2017, right before I started more than a year of travel. The forest photo below was taken at a nature reserve a stone’s throw from where I grew up. (Another photo of the same nature reserve is here.)
Picture of the Month — February 2019
This photo is from a visit to Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. I had a great time there, and took some good pictures. More to come later in this series. Look for it in August, 2019 (aka in a few months).
Picture of the Month — January 2016
The stork is the one that brings babies to their parents. All in the name of not telling children what sex is and how come that creates babies. This picture was taken at the Hannover zoo in July 2014 when I visited Germany to see some of my writer friends.
I thought it would be appropriate to start the new year with a stork. I have thought about what I want to accomplish in 2016 and how 2015 went. And each year arrives blank and full of promise, just like a baby. (No, I’m not saying a baby is blank, but the parents have no idea who the baby will turn out to be, so in a way the baby’s personality is a blank until the parents can discover it.)
The stork have delivered 2016 to you, what are you going to do with it?

I’ve been to zoos that claimed they had wolverines, but never have I seen them until I visited Kolmården with a friend in August 2014.
The wolverines ran around and played with each other as my friend and I watched, along with a few other zoo-goers. It was a treat. I realize there is a debate whether zoos are good or not. At Kolmården, I’ve seen the happiest animals I’ve ever seen in a zoo, so they are one of the best if you believe in zoos.

One year ago almost to the date (aka August 2014), a friend and I visited Kolmården—a huge zoo in Sweden. Each animal species have large areas to move through, and the park have even larger areas where many different animal species live together. This trip with an overnighter at the hotel beside the park was my birthday present from my friend. I turned 25 years old in May 2014.
As part of our trip we included a tiger tour that took us as close to a tiger you can be without also being eaten by them. In the picture above you see the tiger on top of a metal bus (or something similar) where all windows have been exchanged for bars. The tiger is so interested in the inside contents because inside is half the guide group and the guides are throwing meat up to the tiger through the ceiling bars.
My friend and I were a part of the second half to visit the inside of the bus. I literally was less than a meter from tigers while inside that bus. We weren’t allowed to be close to the bars because the tigers could reach slightly inside. So below I treat you to a picture of a hungry tiger thinking of eating me. 🙂
