A taste of "Shark Reef"

[Steve_Warner]

Hi all,
Well, I ventured out to the strip tonight to use my other ticket to Mandalay Bay's "Shark Reef" exhibit and to take some pics for y'all. This is the first half of my camera-full. I'll post the second half tomorrow. Hope you like 'em!

First pic is of a trellis inside the exhibit hall. It is TOTALLY enclosed and climate-controlled. The place is a jungle setting, like your lost in the Amazon.
