We had just a little look around afterwards. It's so long since I last went to the Natural History Museum - I don't remember any of the amazing architecture or the incredible large skeletons.
Beautiful natural patterns in rock
Darwin sitting at the top of a staircase
View of the whale (Dippy is still travelling)
Macaws - I'm not a fan of taxidermy but these looked incredibly natural.
Whale from even higher up.
Stark bones against pretty windows.
Amazing ceiling panels.
Rows of columns - extravagant decoration
Close up of huge ancient sequoia slice
Many of them peering down at us.
A really lovely day. Thank you very much to my friend for taking me.
And thank you for joining me.

No wonder you didn't have the energy to keep running upstairs to capture the sunset. What a gorgeous day to visit the NHM. I love it there.
ReplyDeleteI know I've been before a long time ago but I remember nothing about it - it obviously didn't inspire me much then. Now I feel very different!
