04.10 DIPLODOCUS

I visited the Natural History Museum today, which my coworker Alice has been raving about. The 2009 BBC photographer of the year awards were on exhibition so I made my way for a viewing. The pictures were impressive, my favorite a group of swans, in a near white-out snowstorm, their white feathers barely visible against the winter background, but their beaks, bright orange and almost illuminated by the contrast. It was taken in China. Absolutely beautiful.

Anyways, I didn't take a picture of the picture, as this wasn't allowed. But what's a trip to the museum without a dinosaur skeleton on display? I spent a bit of time admiring the structure and size of this one, and trying to figure out how to pronounce its name...
