New York and the African Elephants!

View On Black

This is the hallway of African Mammals exhibit at American Museum of Natural history, New york. During my previous visits, I always have found this place a little dark, with many moving people, lack of space or in general non-conducive for photography.

This time, as I was walking down the Mezzanine floor, an idea struck and I used my 10-20mm lens and the wall (as a tripod substitute) to take this photograph.

I didn't bother to do any post-processing to remove the moving people (creating ghost images), as I thought of course humans are part of Natural history and they deserve to be part of the museum. lol :)

A quick search in ancestry.com shows that the mammoth walking towards the camera is Ray Romano's ancestor.

Alan,
You know I really like ELR, don't you?!

You didn't get the ice age reference? That mammoth is probably the only watchable ray romano role.

Alana,
Yaa, I got the reference. I thought you were mocking him saying that he wasn't the right fit in Ice Age. Anyways...
