The Blue Whale

Ok, I may have lied yesterday when I said I had no more shots from London. I do have a couple more, which I'll share another time but I forgot I'd shot another view of the amazing Blue Whale skeleton at the Natural History Museum. This is Hope, the 25m Blue Whale that was washed up on the southern Irish coast in 1891. She replaces Dippy the Diplodocus as the NHM's Hintze Hall centrepiece. As much as Dippy was loved by the people who visited, Hope is just as impressive and well worth a visit to see.
