At the Museum

Yes, yes it's been a while. My camera broke so until I get a new one let's enjoy some not yet published pictures I took from the American Museum of Natural History. To celebrate Thanksgiving let show the dioramas of hunter and their meals. Also ever creature here is full of stuffing.

You smell that our meal has arrived.

I think we're being watched.

In a pinch a peacock is a good turkey substitute.

Finally a time of year these deer are safe...if the were still alive.

Random shots

These photos just prove there is always another side.

Statues have backsides that must be photoed.

The moon is out as often during the day as at night.

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.

Darker iguanas lounging.

Before...

and after.

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.

A parting shot across the field.

The Gazebo.

The fireman's house/barracks...place.

Down the road.

The flag was at half staff.

The projects.

A finally meal together. Here are the people.

There is the steeple.

Back on the ferry.

One last glorious sun about to set for the season.

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.

Stroll down the aisle.

I need these bookcases for home.

They have the appropriate decor.

Hey did it just move? No, not again!
