That's My World Tuesday: NC Museum of Natural Science

I posted the shot below of the dome on the NC Museum of Natural Science on my other blog some time ago, but I'm pretty sure I haven't posted it on this blog yet. I like the way you can see the dinosaur through the glass and if you look closely you can see the moon on the right of the museum.

This museum is located on Bicentennial Plaza in downtown Raleigh between the Capitol and the Legislature Buildings.

The shot above shows the part of the museum adjacent to the dome. The shot below shows a section of the side of the museum adjoining the second shot. The museum has sections showing NC from the mountains to the sea. It includes exhibits on prehistoric NC, research and technology, a living conservatory, dead sea scrolls, a discovery room for children, as well as other exhibits.

Monochrome Monday: St. Francis wearing cap and stole

I couldn't decide between the head shot and the full body shot so I decided to show both.



What amazed me is how perfectly the snow melted to form the cap and stole. The shot below is a color one when St. Francis almost had a top hat. I didn't touch the snow at all. This is how it fell.
