I dodged the heat but not the crowds for a while this weekend at the aquarium. The former New Jersey state aquarium is now privately run and has been expanded to include a large shark exhibit. There wasn’t time to visit the nearby Battleship New Jersey (both keep surprisingly short summer hours), but I did take some pictures along the waterfront. Those were much easier than inside the aquarium, where the combined degrees of difficulty from photographing animals underwater in the dark cut the take of 123 photos down to these 33.
