Good morning hivers and creatives, I'm stopping by to share with you the wonderful Sunday I had with my family. A few days ago we had planned to go to a marine exhibition. However the plan fell through due to lack of tickets, but due to algorithm issues my cousin got a new plan, I think better: The Aquarium. We were very excited because when we were kids in our hometown Cumaná there was El Museo del Mar, now I don't know if it is still operating.
For me, I don't know if it is because I have lived so many years near the sea, it is the most relaxing and fun plan that I can always experience. Together with my cousin we share that love and for my nephew it is always beautiful to see him admired by things like that. We got warm enough and started the subway ride to O'higgin Park, we walked to the entrance of the aquarium with a lot of excitement.
The entrance fee is 3 thousand children and 4 thousand adults, the hours are from 11 am until 7 pm, on Fridays until 5 pm if I remember correctly, you can tell them that you are going in a group and they assign you a guide, they also have schedules for you to enjoy the experience with one. But we were free as the wind, when we entered I was surprised because it is quite dark with a structure similar to a cave.
Impressive variety of fish, the first ones are gigantic, for a moment we thought they were screens, but we quickly realized how beautiful nature is. The more we went on the more we were excited, until we reached the fish of Finding Nemo, there we spent some time admiring and laughing.
Then it was the turn of the sharks, wow. The photo does not do justice to how incredible they are, how much power they transmit and at the same time so much calm, the fluidity of their movements are majestic, being aware and present of everything in them, their swimming and showing themselves, like remembering that all that is also in me.
There are tiny fish, blind fish, another one made by humans, there were turtles, even an aquarium with the scenography of SpongeBob SquarePants. When I got to the part of the goldfish, my inner child came out, because I remembered that in my childhood, we had an aquarium with them, and we called them Cantalicios, there I was a while watching them carefully, with their radiant color, the tails like mermaids, it was the most significant for me.
The most beautiful and I keep as inspiration for future works, are the anemones, the colors, the way they are constantly seen in their breathing. Although there were things about the structures and conditions that made me a little noise, it was a pleasant experience, because for everything bad the sea and for everything good too.
Thank you very much hivers if you made it this far, I hope the pictures transmit you a little of that calm and inspiration that I received. Remember that contact with nature is one of the best ways to click again with your inner self. Hugging a tree, walking barefoot in the dirt, sand or grass, looking at the sky for a while, costs little and is worth a lot. See you in a future post.
