Ōsaka Aquarium 水族館



Last weekend I needed to beat the intense heat wave that has engulfed Japan. Really it is killer hot this summer, literally as of August 17 heat exhaustion has claimed 132 lives, with 31,579 people hospitalized since May 31 according to Fire and Disaster Management Agency. The Ōsaka Aquarium was just the ticket, cool air conditioned comfort for body and temper, and a feast of sites for the eyes. My favorite part of this wonderful aquarium is the last floor where the jellyfish live. Pictured: Box, Sea Nettle, and the upside down jellyfish.

    Heat wave aside, these are incredible shots! I just went to the Cal Academy of Science in San Fran and had a great time. The Jellies were among my favorite. Hope you guys are doing well! Keep up the blog, I love it!
