When I was a young child, I was obsessed with dinosaurs. Every couple of weeks my parents would take me to the public library, and I would always check out at least one dinosaur book. Here in southern Arizona, we have a creature that I always thought was the closest thing on earth to a modern-day dinosaur, the Horned Lizard. I was, and am, always delighted to find one. I took this photo of a Horned Lizard in southeast Arizona USA.

These interesting petroglyphs are in Dinosaur National Monument. Some have hypothesized that these are of aliens, but they look like humans wearing headdresses to me. Enjoy.
Bother me tomorrow, today I'll buy no sorrows
Doo, doo, doo, lookin' out my back door.

I can't see this creature without thinking of dinosaurs. This photo was taken in the Merritt Is. NWR, near Titusville, FL
These Tasmanian Dolerite rocks are said by geologists to be 180 million years old. It was also a time when dinosaurs roamed the earth. This is not a fossil, but it can look very much like the close up of a dinosaur's eye.

Where dinosaurs walked, as the 150 full dinosaur skeletons found here have proved. But instead of the badlands with cactuses there were tropical forests with palm trees when dinosaurs roamed here.

Taking this life size dinosaurs and placing them out in the Utah desert is pretty cool to see ... and fun to walk around and shoot for compositions too :)

Always wanted to build a dinosaur, never quite had the inspiration. This one started life as a one day build with more realistic proportions and a normal walking pose. I was particularly inspired by the Jurassic Brachiosaurus striking this pose. The tree went through some iterations, ending up as a cypress.
Big thanks to Oshi, LegoModulexFan, Gaverage mocs, Vertaro and Gonk Projects for their feedback and inspiration.
You can have all the money in the world, but
there's one thing you will never have... a dinosaur.

Thanks for views, faves and comments! ;-)
Or more accurately, rocks that look a lot like dinosaur bones. Although carnivorous dinosaurs thrived on the Australian mainland up to about 100 million years ago, there was a large rift valley (now covered by the sea) between it and Tasmania. This prevented the dinosaurs from migrating south. However, there are fossilised bones of a large reptilian crocodile-like creature (about 250 million years old) that have been found on the island. This goes back to a period before the dinosaurs as we know it evolved.

60+ dinosaurs on display at the Bronx Zoo - they move, roar and rumble much to the terror of a lot of kids and the delight of adults like me.
What a lovely spot this was with the lush greens there in the slot canyon ... a pretty spot there in Utah. The CPL really brought out the colors of the sky, rocks, and greenery there in this scene.
A giant pigeon sculpture called "Dinosaur" by artist Ivan Argote installed on the plinth at the High Line.
From the website:
Reflecting on the work’s title, Argote notes, “The name Dinosaur makes reference to the sculpture’s scale and to the pigeon’s ancestors who millions of years ago dominated the globe, as we humans do today… the name also serves as a reference to the dinosaur’s extinction. Like them, one day we won’t be around anymore, but perhaps a remnant of humanity will live on—as pigeons do—in the dark corners and gaps of future worlds. I feel this sculpture could generate an uncanny feeling of attraction, seduction, and fear among the inhabitants of New York.”
Dinosaur, like the pigeons that inspired it, bears witness to the city’s evolution and confronts us with our ever-changing relationship with the natural world and its inhabitants. The oft-overlooked and derided creatures that seem to over-populate the city first arrived in the US via Europe, likely in the 1800s. They were kept as domesticated animals and were most notably used as reliable message carriers. Pigeons have an internal GPS, known as “homing,” that allows them to always find their way back home. This skill once made the bird indispensable in war—they served as military messengers in both World War I and World War II, saving hundreds of soldiers’ lives by transporting messages quickly to both the trenches and front lines. Many of these pigeons received gallantry awards and were celebrated as war heroes, before technology eventually rendered them obsolete.
Dinosaur recognizes this seemingly prosaic figure and celebrates its anonymity amongst the urban landscape, while also taking aim at classic monuments erected in honor of great men, who all too often are neither honorable nor great. Argote humorously suggests that, in fact, the not-wild—but no longer domesticated—birds are likely more deserving of being placed on a pedestal and celebrated for their contributions to society than most. Further, by highlighting their origins, Argote reminds viewers that, to some degree, everyone is an immigrant. Even the pigeon, a New York fixture, initially migrated here and made the city their home, like millions of other “native” New Yorkers.
The Hall of Dinosaurs is the most popular exhibit in the museum. Zyanya was the first one in the door today, so she has it all to herself…for a few minutes, anyway.
The set of 12 plastic dinosaurs I bought came with a booklet, which I cut up and used as wall decor behind the dino display.
It's amazing how these red sandstone formed from great shifting sand dunes during the age of dinosaurs, 150 million years ago and now you can find the image of dinosaur at the same location.
I recently got a dinosaur and had to put it to some use!
A nest was one of my earliest ideas, since I wanted to include the baby dinos too. The sand was initially built for Relaxing Bedrock Style but it didn't work as planned. So it made the base for this MOC instead!

The Uintah Mountains extend from north-eastern Utah into Colorado. On the left side of the image one can see the visitor center of Dinosaur National Monument, one of the worlds finest paleontological sites. Hundreds of fairly complete fossils of various Dinosaurs have been found at the Dinosaur Quarry, located in the hills right behind the visitor center. The image can be downlaoded in high resolution (10000 pixels horizontally).
