I've gotta be honest with you, I was really struggling to come up with something to write about today. The past couple of Wednesdays I have been posting in with the #wednesdaywalk tag as part of the challenge by @tattoodjay.

My recent posts for the challenge have been from a couple of trips I took a long time ago to New York. I wish there was some grand inspiration for my posts in this challenge lately, but frankly I am using these pictures because it is easy.

I was going through some old files when I found them and I thought to myself "some of these are really good pictures", so I figured I should share them with the world. Beyond this introduction, I am probably not going to have a lot of text in this post.

That's a good thing for you, because I am generally pretty wordy. At least when it comes to writing anyway. Try to talk to me in person and I am quiet as a lamb. Anyway, as we were walking on the West side of Central Park one day we decided it might be a cool idea to visit the American Museum of Natural History.

At the time they had an ancient Egypt exhibit as one of their main features, so that was the clincher for me. I've always been fascinated by ancient Egypt and the pyramids. There is something mystical about it that draws me in.

It was pretty impressive that they brought in these pieces of the actual structure of one of the buildings. The detail in the carvings on the stones were equally impressive.

There were also a large number of sculptures on display. The breadth of the exhibit was really impressive. We have a small museum that puts on exhibits near the town I live in, but they are nothing on the scale of this.

I remember one time they had a couple of the Terra Cotta Warriors on display, but they only had room for two of them. Here they potentially could have fit the whole army!

Of course it wouldn't be an Egyptian exhibit without a sarcofagus or two...

They also had many other items on display like pottery and jewelry that had been recovered.

They also had a pretty cool far East exhibit that I took some pictures of.

Sadly, because of the lighting and the glass a lot of my pictures from this area didn't turn out. Those are the only two that aren't miserably blurry.

Finally, after we finished withe the main exhibits we walked through the rest of the museum. As I said, it is pretty big and they had a large variety of items to view. Including this space exhibit.

One thing I do remember clearly about the museum was the line. It took a long time to get our tickets and gain admission into the museum. I am not sure if there is ever a not busy time as New York is a big city and people visit from all over the world.

That's it for my Wednesday walk. I hope you enjoyed the pictures!
