FAA WATERCOLOR MARK DOES NOT APPEAR ON FINAL SALES
While at the Queens Zoo located on the old Worlds Fair Ground in Queens, New York that hosted the Worlds Fair in 1965-66 I came across a great looking zoo that I was not even aware of. I was looking on the computer for locations in Long Island and New York where I could photograph wildlife and the computer came up with the Queens Zoo. One of the first animals I came across was this great looking sealion in action, the sealion was diving off of the rocks and swimming all around the location it was in. In this particular photo I was able to capture the sealion right after he had dove into the water and was coming up for air leaving a wake behind him as he swam quickly towards me. The Queens Zoo is a great zoo to go to if you are ever in the area it specializes in animals from the northern regions of North America, Canada and Scotland and any animals that feel comfortable in the cold. The cost for an adult is only 7 dollars probably the best zoo price that I have ever been to and this comes on New York City upgrading the zoo in 1992 with a 32 million dollar facelift.
