Morning At the Museum

Last week, thanks to a friend of mine, I was able to spend a little time at The American Museum of Natural History before it opened, and of course I headed straight for the prehistoric exhibits.  

It's an odd and giddy experience, to be in the presence of what can begin to feel like living creatures, and to have them all to one's self.  Not to have to fight the crowds.

I took a few photos, and while I can't convey exactly what it felt like, hopefully this will give you a glimpse of it.
