Seals at Lofotakvariet

In Storvågen nearby Kabelvåg, Lofotakvariet is located close to Galleri Espolin, Lofotmuseet and Nyvågar Rorbuhotell. Inside, you will find many aquarium tanks with different kinds of fish species and educating exibitions about fishing and oil industries. A simple, yet impressing self-service point and click multimedia "table" attracted both children as well as older people.

The above picture is taken outside and shows two seals showing off to get food. The water looked clean and in general the animals seemed to have it quitee nice although not free to go entirely where they want. In addition to the seal pond, there is an otter pond with a few otters. Inside, there is also a cafeteria as well as a souvenir shop.

Photo details: EOS 30D with my EF-S 17-85 mm at f/5.6 with a focal length of 85 mm. With ISO at 200, the shutter time was 1/80 seconds. The picture has been cropped using Adobe Photoshop Elements 6.
