The Aquarium Tour Begins

The first exhibit that you enter is the Mountain habitat.  This, I think, is my favorite.  

There were quite a few people, being the 4th of July holiday, so we had to wait a moment to enter the actual habitat.  This afforded me an opportunity to scan the scene and take in the atmosphere.  Waterfalls streamed down artificial rock walls that could have been real.  Everywhere the sound echoed and if you were actually in a real mountainous area.

A huge mountain waterfall plummeted into a nearby stream complete with a collection of  mountain fish.  I could have stayed there all day and just taken in the sights and sounds that encircled each visitors--a sensory treat to eye and ear.

The mist rolled down the mountain, showering droplets of welcome moisture upon the visitors as it watered the many plants that made their homes in the Mountain habitat.  I watched it roll and undulate down the sides of the cliff as I stood there, waiting to enter the main part of the habitat.
