This is the exhibit that I went to this past weekend. More than 200 artists from around the world have contributed to this. Was mind-boggling to say the least. DH took over 50 pictures.

The biologists from USF also helped with this exhibit.

This is the white reef... Chris

Chris, that's a beautiful exhibit. I would like to look it up on the web & see what areas it will be traveling to. Lucky you to be able to go & see that in person. Isn't it amazing what people can do? Thanks for sharing some of your DH's pics. I would love to see more.

The next place on the tour is Geramny and that is the only other one listed in 2012 and there isn't a 2013 list yet.

Here is the link to the Florida group that did the local show... Chris
