Animal Encouter - 6

Patiance pays and thats truely said while filming wildlife. After few trials, I was able to capture the flight of sea eagle at the Cardiff Bay, Wales, UK.
While walking along the Cardiff Bay's Barrage, we were able to see a lot of sea birds. Sea Eagle being one of them. I tried to capture the flight of the Sea Eagle, thinking its an easy task. Everytime the bird used to fly when my camera memory stick was exhauseted. After a few trials, I was able to predict when the Sea Eagle is going to take its next flight.

Monterey Bay Aquarium

On the second day of my weekend in San Jose, we visited Monterey, California, USA. After a hearty sea food meal at Ocean side restaurant, we reached the Monterey Bay Aquarium. The tickets to the Aquarium are bit costly, but if you are staying on the West coast of USA its worth visiting this tourist attraction. There are many sections in side the Aquarium which cover different variety of sea animals. I would recommend you to spare minimum four hours to visit this place. Each section has shows of various fish or sea animals with trainer giving valuable information of these animals. So if you are with kids be sure you grab copy of the show timings at the entrance and follow the map accordingly.

Fishermans Wharf, SFO

The Fishermans Wharf, San Frasisco, USA is one of the popular tourist destinations. We wounded our SFO one day tour at the SFO Fishermans Wharf. The local area also includes the Ghiradelli Square, Crooked Street, etc which are must see. We finished our dinner at one of the Pizza joints and roamed on the street adjacent to Fisherman Wharf Street.
There were shops and street side vendors selling SFO Souveniers. As the name suggests there were few Fishermans shops selling fresh sea fish. The display of the various fish at the stall was amazing. Unfortunately, all our camera batterys were exhausted and we were unable to take pictures by night time.

Barrage Gates, Cardiff Bay

During my visit to Cardiff Bay, Cardiff, UK, I had an opportunity to view the operation of the barrage gates. For those who are unaware of the meaning of barrage, - the Barrage is usually a dam placed in a water course to increase the depth of the water. It was evening time and the fishermen were returning back to home after their days work. The boats were returning back to shallow side of the Cardiff Bays Barrage. Barrage Gates and hence the flow of the water on either side of the Cardiff Bay are controlled by the three huge metal levers as show in the picture.
