An Afternoon at the Museum

Today, I had a chance to get out of the house and get away from work, school, and chores. The two younger boys, Tom and Karl, and I went to the Reading Public Museum to see the "Born to be Wild" motorcycle exhibit. Here's what was on display.





The exhibit included the two motorcycles from the movie Easy Rider, historical motorcycle as well as fanciful custom choppers, some of the more extreme ones looked completely impractical to ride. The exhibit is worth seeing.

The photos are ones I took. To capture the truest color, I didn't use flash photography inside the museum and the exposures were longer than normal. Since some of them were almost a half second and I did not have a tripod, some pictures were unusable while others were a bit blurry. It's time to get a tripod, and some polarizing filters to minimize reflections from glass. Next time the photos should be clearer.
