Sydney Aquarium, Sydney, Australia

Flurries of undulating brightness, a ballet of movement, both graceful and sharp. The swooping gray sharks twisting as though in agony look about with a lazy disinterest, noticing everything it seems. Shoals of massive silvery-coated fish move as though in a hurricane, revolving in harmony to the orchestral music projected around me. The sharks seem to float through the flashes of camera blasts that appear from outside the tank. The main cast moving in time to the music is grace itself, while behind lurks a larger group of dancers that remain indistinct. The silvery fish are now like leaves fallen from a tree in the autumn and blown by the wind. A dimmed blue light covers the scene like a thin gossamer blanket.
