Visitors grabbed their skateboards and tried out the Exploratorium’s temporary skate park. Professional skateboarders shredded on the ramps while the Exploratorium’s Steve Gennrich and Paul Doherty broke down the physics behind their tricks.

"Echo Tubes"
These were closed during the farmers market (likely to keep them empty from the looks of things). Not to worry, I have it on good authority that the echos are amazing and can also shift in pitch.

Exploratorium: the museum of science, art and human perception. We went there on May 27th. There were a lot of things to play with there but most of the museum didn't have good lighting to take good pictures.
I didn't want to do this, but I've spent the last three days shooting indoor basketball games with no flash, and shadows just don't seem to exist in those venues. I want to keep tabs on the assignments for future reference, though, and this shot (barely a week old) really fit the bill for this assignment.
Dailyshoot #ds473 Make a shadow the subject of a photo. I loved that there are three separate shadows, and they're all different colours, and if you look, you can see the blended colours where two shadows overlap.
There are so many fun things to do at the Exploratorium. Fun, and the kids don't realize they're actually learning while having fun.
The Exploratorium, the hands-on science museum, we came to find out was the site of San Francisco’s “coming out party” (no pun intended) after the great quake of 1906. This was the site of a world’s fair, or something of the sort, and the rotunda and pillars were built to emulate ancient sites in Greece. The museum itself was neat inside, but not much photo-worthy, although I did forget to take a picture of the world’s fair painting that showed the entire grounds (all of the buildings except for the Exploratorium have since been destroyed). At any rate, I am just posting these two shots so to detail the architecture.
took a trip to SF. One of the stops was the Exploratorium. This place is absolutely fascinating. Definitely a must see when you have a few hours to roam, walk, enjoy and learn so many awesome things.
The Exploratorium was founded in 1969. The Exploratorium is a museum in San Francisco with over 475 participatory exhibits, all of them made onsite, that mix science, art and human perception. It also aims to promote museums as informal education centers. It has a vast collection of online interactives, web features, activities, programs, and events that feed your curiosity. In 2013 the Exploratorium was moved to a new home: Pier's 15/17 (Reference: www.exploratorium.edu/).
I was at the Exploratorium in San Francisco with my kids when we came across a display which allowed you to watch ice crystals as they formed through a magnifier fitted with a polarizer filter. Fortunately, I had a polarizer filter with me and I was able to take some interesting photos of the ice crystals forming without having to shoot through the provided magnifier.
This shot was taken a few minutes after the previous ice crystals had been fully melted by a spray of water.
