Travelogue III: Chicago, 7-11, May, 2006: Shedd Aquarium
The visit to Shedd Aquarium during the stay in Chicago is memorable.
These water creatures are amazing and their beautiful presences make everyone excited.
We encountered many school kids on school excursions there. Despite the fact that the kids were quite noisy, they were such a great audience of these elegant animals. They were very generous to shout out loud their amazement and joy for these treasures of the world.
Nature always brings to human the best comfort and the most blissful happiness. (I still remember the sea otters' naughty smiles, the dolphins' crescent-shaped bodies, and the toddling penguins. See my album 2)
Nature never disappoints us when we need its solace, and it's very important for us to cherish natural resources and to protect the natural environment, especially in this almost unbearable hot summer. If there's antyhing to be responsible for this drastic change of weather, we can never excuse ourselves.
It is very sad to thing that our stubbornness to acknowledge and act on the problem of global warming is going to have drastic and fatal consequences on the natural world. So much is going to be lost as a result of our poor behaviour.
ReplyDeleteYou should really check out the photography work by Yann Arthus-Bertrand who travels the world documenting with his camera the beauty of it so that we can be reminded what is at stake, and in the worst case provide images for future generations to see what has been lost.
