Starfish

photo 385
Another one from the Bergen Aquarium. At the entrance they have a salt water "petting zoo" where you can pick up and have a closer look at shells, starfish, sea urchins and crabs. They do ask you the leave the fish alone though!

This shot is taken under water with my waterproof Panasonic compact camera. I did get some strange looks from people around me as I plunged my expensive looking digital camera into the water.... ;-)

I put up a small gallery of shots from the Bergen Aquarium on PBase. Please have a look if you have the time:

the colours are amazing - I looked at this and wondered if you were somewhere warm and tropical

Oh what fun! Using your waterproof camera in the aquarium! Wonderful clarity, apart from the starfish the shells are amazingly clear.
