A Photography Exhibit As Beautiful as Nature
Sunday, November 4, 2007
Nature's best prize-winning photographs are up for viewing at the Smithsonian's Museum of Natural History.
The 60 photos were selected by Nature's Best Photography magazine from 17,000 entries. The honored photographers -- some amateur, some professional -- represent 26 countries.
The free exhibit also features the work of Howard Ruby, named conservation photographer of the year by the magazine. Ruby, whose pictures you see here, has made the polar bear the face of the threat of global warming. He has been to the Arctic many times and has set up a group called Global Warming Crusade to educate people, especially children, about the problem.
The "Nature's Best" exhibit runs through April 27 at the museum, located on the Mall. For hours and other information: http://www.mnh.si.edu or 202-633-1000.
