This was photographed at Ushaka Marine World in Durban, South Africa.
The picture was taken on a recreated "cargo ship wreck" - the bottom part houses a massive state of the art aquarium, and the other "floors" house various restaurants and bars/ old style pubs, all setup according to the time in which the ship would have technically been shipwrecked, hence the olde worlde details.
I managed to snap quite a few photos, of which this is one - part of the entrance to "The Shark Bar" (note the lights inside).

I like this, it works very well in monochrome. I think it has a more old time feel that way.
Thanks for visiting!
Perfect in monochrome. This sounds like a very neat and interesting place to visit.
Very cool shot, I too like the way the B&W sets the mood..:-)
What a find..a lot of detail here as well- like the lights.. excellent choice-
Thank you very much for commenting on my blog, Gena. Are you from Durban? I have been twice to SA but have not visited Durban.
Your photos are very beautiful. Your son is very handsome!
Have a great weekend.
Sounds interesting.
lovely monochrome!
This way the old boat and its history is used and preserved.
I enjoyed your other blog posts as well.
A picture like that can only be taken in monochrome!
Hello Marie,
I am from Johannesburg, but whenever I travel (or even a day trip) I take pictures, so you get a huge variety when I post - hehe! hope to see you back soon!
Gena @ thinking aloud
Very nice monochrome;-)
Wish you a nice day!
the sign would entice me to enter the bar. grat b/w shot
The square format works well for this; made me think of the Tugboat restaurant at Swakopmund, Namibia.
I love it! And I would pay a lot to get that sign - sooooo coooool :)
That looks like an interesting place and I like the shot.
Great monochrome shot. Also like your sky reflections and an afternoon snooze.
Great one for monochrome. Good composition and tonality. Evokes images of old and "salty."
I linked to your blog from Monochrome Weekend when I left my own post there. After spending some time scrolling through some of your posts I think I will visit you often. I confess that I know very little about your country and am very curious. I would love to visit the game lodge with its circular seating and spikey fence. I like the photo of your son and his dog. My wife and I have a bull terrier who likes to share our bed.
I live in Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA which has its own history, in some ways similar to SA, in some ways very different. I invite you to visit. Tulsa Gentleman
Nice contrast. And, the shark sign does have an "olde" appearance.
Only sharks allowed in this bar! Great monochrome shot.
wow..awesome shot and interesting name of the bar....i would surely dare to get in...
mine is here, hope u can visit
I really like this photo, what an interesting place to visit.
The Road to Here
This photo is perfect in monochrome, looks like an interesting place to visit ;)
It's unique and very clear for the monochrome without losing its detail. Thanks Gena.
I love all the details you've captured - the grain of the wood, and the lamps and flags inside.
We had our Eastern Cape party on this ship during Tourism Indaba last year.
A few comments back:
Hi Bill (Tulsa Gentleman), thanks for your lovely email I read it on the weekend, but haven't had time to respond ... glad you enjoy the blog .. hope I can keep inspiring you to come out one day!

Did you travel there or live?
Mona Sweden - Hahaha had to laugh at your comment ...... I guess people at their own risk!?
