Next
stop was the “Dancing Jellies”. It was at the western side of the
Manila Ocean Park if you’re facing the bay. It was a large, dark room
surrounded by thick glass aquariums on the walls. 
There
were different species of jellyfish swimming and floating inside those
colorful aquariums. The alternate lighting pattern of red, green and
blue on each aquarium enhanced the exquisiteness of the scenes as the
transparent body of the jellies absorb the lights.
However,
the most memorable and fascinating part was at the last section of the
dark room where there were glass columns, around three in all, filled
with dancing jellyfish while colorful lights also dance in each column.
Then, the section was surrounded by mirror walls, which caused the area
to look so big. It was such a fascinating illusion! I’d never enjoyed
being in darkness that much!
Too bad, I had no camera...
Perhaps,
it was a good place for kids to see but even adults can appreciate a
wonder of nature in the lives of jellies. They may be very small and
might look very insignificant, but they could be very dangerous and
deadly too.
Looking at them inside those aquariums can move us to appreciate the wonder of God's creation....
