Two avid David Attenborough fans. 😂❤️

Every time… they are captivated.

Wonderful afternoon spent wandering around the Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition at the Natural History Museum.

Utterly captivating.

Though poignantly marred by the news coming out of COP29.
A powerful image from the "Wildlife Photographer of the Year" exhibition captures a jaguar delivering a final bite to a caiman. The photograph is accompanied by a plaque explaining the context of this intense scene from the Pantanal wetlands. The surrounding dim lighting ensures the dramatic details of the image take centre stage. Outside the Natural History Museum, a metallic sculpture of a dinosaur skeleton is beautifully lit against the backdrop of the historic building. The Gothic architecture looms behind, with soft yellow lights highlighting the windows, while the deep blue evening sky creates a dramatic contrast. Fallen leaves and subtle landscaping add an autumnal feel. Inside the iconic hall of the Natural History Museum, the suspended skeleton of a blue whale, named "Hope," commands attention. Bathed in ethereal blue lighting, the colossal figure soars beneath the museum's intricate vaulted ceiling. A crowd of visitors below is dwarfed by the grandeur of the architecture and the scale of the whale. The sleek, modern display for the "Wildlife Photographer of the Year" exhibition stands out against the ornate surroundings of the Natural History Museum.
