Still life in New York

I visited the New York Museum of Natural History today, and took a few pictures. It wasn't easy, because if you use the flash the reflections on the glass cases look terrible and spoil the shots. So I had to hold my camera against walls, posts, rails -- anything to keep it still.

First is an exhibit titled, simply, "BIODIVERSITY." It features a whole bunch of mounted species arranged on the wall.

Around the corner was the lifesize blue whale, which hangs in the middle of the undersea and coastal exhibit hall:

Finally, one of the few exhibits which photographed fairly well today. An Australopithecine couple, recreated for New Yorkers with imagination:

I have nothing of substance to post today; just this photographic interlude.

But meanwhile, Justin has been on a roll.

His writing is wonderful, so just keep on reading....
