I visited ‘Handwood Aquarium‘, last night…

… this is a gorgeously done public aquarium, beautifully detailed…

… at the risk of sounding trite, this is very much like a real world aquarium, only without the seediness that such places often have…

… this is a museum-quality experience, with wonderful displays, and the lighting is fabulous, very soothing…

… it’s a very relaxing place to wander around in, viewing the explosions of stunning aquatic colour, and the sudden dartings of schools of pretty fish…

… there’s a gift shop, with very affordable aquatic-themed art, and next to that I was pleasantly surprised to discover the entrance to a ‘nature walk’…

… which I found equally as delightful as the aquarium…

… a wonderful little micro-worlderness of flora and fauna.
