Sea World
It may sound a bit jaded, but having seen a couple of other Sea Worlds in the US, "Sea World is Sea World". What can I say - lots of performing aquatic mammals, well presented shows, and of course the obligatory screaming kids - and a few screaming adults for good measure. However I must say, there are always lots of good photo ops. It was a warm day, and there was lots of walking to do, so I resisted the urge to take the "big" camera, so all the shots you see were taken with my G1X - it's performing quite nicely for a compact camera.
For those with limited download capacity, please be aware that this set of photos contains quite a lot of videos. But with the shows being quite dynamic, it was the best way to capture the action.
Here's a LINK to the other photos and videos (this directly to the Set, not a slideshow, so you can pick which videos you want to watch).
NOTE: a couple of the shots in this set (the ones with grass/sea/landscape), are actually of Burleigh Heads, which is where I drove to after visiting Sea World.
