1. Magical!

2. Seahorses are so cool.

3. I went to gradeschool at The Avery Coonley School, in Downer’s Grove. Our mascot was the seahorse, because they move “Onward and Upward”! :-)

4. Wow, I agree with the above poster: magical

5. They’re adorable and part of me wants to pet them, though I know it’s not possible and would probably be a bad idea! I also want to pet the picture because it’s lovely and -ehm- I’m kind of weird that way?

   When I learned about Web Content Management, we had to set up the structure of a site, in Drupal, about a random subject. I wrote about seahorses on the ground that they’re adorable! That is SO a valid reason when selecting a subject!

6. Now JoCo’s “Seahorse” is going to be stuck in my head all day.

   For those who’d like to play at home: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3cIGww74pw (buy the album at http://www.jonathancoulton.com!)

7. Is that the aquarium in which Dresden fights the Denarians?

   This is bugging me. I’ll have to go check.

8. Great picture! I always enjoy watching seahorses.

9. Nice! I have fond memories of visiting the Shedd Aquarium when I was really teeny.

10. That’s a really neat photo.

11. *love* this — thanks for sharing. :)

12. Oh, I forgot to mention the Shedd! Did you see the Beluga whales? I visit them whenever I’m in the city.

13. Do you have any tips on taking photos in aquariums? This is a really good photo and miles above what I’ve been able to manage trying to capture seahorses, sea dragons, jellyfish, etc.

14. J. Andrews:

    Take a whole bunch of photos. One of them will likely turn out.

    Also, in this particular case, use a good camera (this is my Nikon d5100).

15. I hope that there will be a photo of authentic Chicago pizza coming soon. Preferably with BACON.

16. I am disturbingly reminded of a certain story by Charles Stross..

17. Coming from the West Coast, I am irrationally weirded out by aquariums that aren’t directly on the actual ocean.
