leap of faith

Wonder if the turtle was wondering what was beyond the ledge ?

@National Aquarium, Baltimore.

On first sight, the aquarium rang me a faint resemblance to the Louvre Pyramid, made so famous by Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code. Or maybe it was famous in its own right before, I just came to know of it from the book :)

So the "Pyramid" tops of the third, fourth and fifth floors of the aquarium - and they house an entire rainforest in there ! A very well maintained rainforest, I must say, with large trees and creepers and shrubs, and birds flying free, or at least not kept inside a chained cage. Somewhat like a modern hanging gardens ...
