Challenge 983: Beryl in Birmingham
The reason I was visiting the penguins last week was that it was my mother-in-law's 90th birthday, and we took her to the aquarium in the morning.

Here she is looking at a window in the side of the penguin pool.

Can you give her something more spectacular to gaze at?

High res is here.

One of very your best yet Gordon ........ and in a remarkably short time!

This is a 'must watch full screen'.

Mum in law's aquatic adventure.




I'd already started this when I saw Ant's entry. But fortunately we've both approached it quite differently.

Thanks David. The launch and orbit sequences were repurposed from a video I made a few years ago so that’s why I made this one so quickly.

I had wondered about reflections off the aquarium glass, these are my own shots, they had none.

Great entries all - spectacular for sure Gordon.
I wanted to try something other than a window view but eventually came back to it.
Yours shows thinking outside the box David.

That's bang on point Frank!

The moment I saw the penguin with the balloons my instant thought was they should have "Happy Birthday" on them ....... and then the surprise!
