Wildlife Photographer Of The Year

My last weekend in London. Have absolutely loved being here to soak up as much as possible. At the Natural History Museum London right now, is the Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibit. It’s actually sponsored by Shell oil company. Maybe in a way to make amends for poaching the earth of all of the fossil fuels. This amazing building in South Kensington was built in 1883 specifically to be this museum. The Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibit is really good. It has the most amazing wildlife photos taken by photographers of all ages. The info below each photo was equally incredible because it told how each shot was taken and info about the animals. It is a strong reminder of how the environment is rapidly changing and how it effects everything on the planet. Polar bears are getting the brunt of the impact of global warming right now. How long will they last before there are models of them in this museum to show our kids?Here are some of the photos from the exhibit. This was the winning photo. Shot by Ben Osbourne. Mr. Osbourne scouted this water hole in Africa for three weeks before getting this shot of a bull elephant charging the mud.
