One of the most enjoyable parts of working at the Federal Trade Commission this summer is having an office right on the National Mall and being able to visit the Smithsonian museums during lunch. Yesterday, I visited the Natural History Museum to see their Nature's Best Photography: Ocean Views exhibit.
Below are pictures I took of some of my favorite photos. See many more here. (Or view them all as a slideshow.)Ocean Views is a new and exciting photographic exhibit from the National Museum of Natural History and Nature's Best Photography. As a complement to the opening of the Museum's upcoming Ocean Hall, the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History and Nature’s Best Photography created the Ocean Views photography competition—inviting photographers of all levels to share their connections with the sea. Over 10,000 entries were received. Ocean Views presents a selection of the photographs submitted. Through the stories that these selected photographs tell, visitors will gain new insight into ocean life and become motivated to celebrate, embrace, and protect this fragile world.
If you plan on visiting the DC area anytime soon, this is highly recommended! The exhibit started yesterday and will be on display until October 26th.
P.S. -- See official versions of all the photos here.
