Darwins Friends

Last year about this time the American Museum of Natural History had the Darwin exhibit. It featured a replica of Darwin's studies and some animals from the Galapagos. It was nice and unlike the Creationism Museum everything here was real and not political.

Darwin's room, shame he couldn't afford a ceiling.

Horses, I think without the meat it's hard to tell.

Alternative theory, the magic-man who creates. Yes this was at the museum for the Mythic Creatures exhibit not the Darwin exhibit.

Closed for the Season

That's right Governors Island is closed for the season. They will have an event on October 6-7 called openhousenewyork which is part of the OHNY.org larger architectural event. Well here are some parting shots. I never got to see the bowling alley or the Burger King that use to serve beer. Most of these pictures are from the isolated southern end of the island.

Museum Bookstore

I haven't posted in a while but I'm back. Also my camera broke so while I shop for a new one I will post as many older pictures as I can. Goodbye Canon Powershot A70.

This is from the bookstore at American Museum of Natural History. It is a nice little shop especially if your into science. They have books on the most obscure topics.

A long shot right next to their register.

They have the appropriate decor.
