The NY Times and BBC both have slideshows worth checking out. The one in the Times, part of their Lens photography blog, features photographs of natural history museum items in places other than their typical displays. The photo detail above comes from #6 in the slideshow (though I’m partial to shot #2).
Far more serious is the slideshow from the BBC showing some of the impact of the ongoing drought in the Turkana region of Kenya. This is an area that has a long history of paleoanthropological work and, although the area is pretty remote, has seen many a paleoanthropologist and paleoanthropology student pass through.
