While in San Diego I attended Balboa Park which contains the San Diego Natural History Museum, and this museum contains some of the most diverse and interesting pieces of art, science, and technology that I have ever witnessed. Walking into this prestigious building you can feel the importance and special vibe that the Natural History Museum contains.
While inside the San Diego Natural History Museum my favorite exhibit was the Ordover Gallery with the Best of Nature Photography Show. This collection of art was based on the beauty of nature, something that I have always felt a connection to. Many people try to create art or technology, when all we have to do is slow down and look around us to see some true beauty. I thought it was interesting that both amateurs and professional photographers could submit art to the Ordover Gallery. Photography as art allows for anybody to be a part of art, just how it should be.
Inside this gallery there were photos of flocks of birds, many animals in their natural habitats such as bears and elephants, as well as the sky and mountains. The elements played a large role in these photographs as nothing was manipulated in these photographs, everything was pure and natural. I would recommend a trip to the San Diego Natural History Museum if you ever get a chance because you have the ability to discover things about yourself you had never known before. Make sure you walk past the dinosaurs and the fossils to the top floor to see the photographs, because they are worth it.
