Few pics from the steinhart aquarium in San Fransisco

Nothing real spectacular from a photography standpoint but they sure do have one mean toadstool. Its about 4 feet long and 3 feet tall. Maybe longer (I didnt have my tape measure). Here is a link to the coral reef page. Apparently the deepent in the hemisphere. http://www.calacademy.org/aquarium/coral_reef.cfm Now the pics

They are propegating even more corals for the new and improved aquarium to be finished in 2008. The first pic is the lighting over the deepest reef.

You can see the prop areas through those glass doors in the pictures, but you are not allowed to just walk around and stare over them.

btw if anyone is curious here are some pictures I took back in 2004, warning they are rather large (400k) http://userwww.sfsu.edu/~micheal/steinhart/large/
