American Museum of Natural History - NYC

When the weather is so cold that all you can do is to be indoors, a Museum is a great idea to spend some time. I went for the Natural History one, in NYC. It is huge (4 floors), with great exhibitions, real size animals, history and legends from several people around the world. It is amazing for kids and adults.

I am posting some of my best shots.

The Blue Whale - typically can grow to 23-27 m (70-90 ft)

A minha Lisboa

Por mais sítios por onde passe...Lisboa vai ocupar sempre um lugar especial. Pela sua beleza, pela sua história, pelo seu rio, os seus bairros antigos, as suas ruas típicas. Pelas lojas tradicionais, pelo Sol e por tudo o que me encanta: Lisboa é a melhor cidade do Mundo.

O 1º post de 2013 é pois dedicado a ela.
