Amazing Monterey Bay Aquarium! - {in HD}

Monterey Bay Aquarium video taken in September 2009 with my Canon HF100 camera. This was our first visit to the Monterey Bay Aquarium in California and hopefully not the last. The staff were all very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable......first rate all the way! This video shows only a few highlights of the many fascinating animals that live there. My favorites are here - the kelp forest, amazing jellyfish (which look like ufos or something alien or at least like something out of science fiction), seahorses, sea otters, and the Outer Bay exhibit which also contained the aquarium's new young female Great White shark. The Monterey Bay Aquarium should not be missed if you are in the area!
UPDATE: This Great White Shark has been released back to the ocean.

Click on "HD". You may have to hit pause and let it load through once before watching in Hi-Def, depending on how slow YouTube is acting at the time. Watching the videos "in channel" in HD seems to give good results, sometimes. Give it a try. Helps a bit if your computer is fast. Not bad in non-HD also.

Really love this video! Excellent footage and editing.  But I was wondering, when I first watched it, it had a different soundtrack; something more electronic. While I still like your musical choice for this video, I was wondering what the name and artist of the original music was.

Thanks!

@videomonkey5150 The original music I used was from the Jean-Michel Jarre album called Oxygene.....it's really good electronic music, I think. Some didn't like it, so I changed it. Anyway, thanks very much for your comments...much appreciated!

Amazing video! I just started volunteering there this summer. Do you work there? Anyway, great shots and very beautiful video.

@ibedeannad Thanks for the nice comments! No, I don't work there...it was one of the places we went on our vacation to California. It's very cool that you are volunteering there!

@mikeybuoy1 Thanks for the nice comment and for watching! Glad you liked my video! The music for this video is Patricia Spero...I used it to replace the original music I used - I think it fits well. Hope you and your grandson enjoy visiting this aquarium....we loved it! Thanks again!

i was born in monterey california, when i was little my parents used to take me to the aquarium all the time. then i lived in texas for most my life. so I've never been close to the ocean in most of my life. except for in the summer, i went to padre island and spain. i always loved the ocean and especially sharks, there is like a connection, i love beautiful videos of the ocean so this video really reminded me of old times, thanks for making it. it really made my day. I'm 12 by the way.

@jdb80004 Thanks for the info. Very surprised people didn't like the original soundtrack; I really thought it matched the mood of the video. But regardless, it's still great. Thanks again for sharing it; it reminds me of my trip there a few years ago.
