The striking badlands topography is seen everywhere at the Dinosaur Provincial Park, Alberta, Canada. The park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site well known for being one of the richest dinosaur fossil locales in the world.
Dinosaurs, not always the prettiest beasts to wander the earth, but impressive and fascinating they were. And extinct.
I feel the same about these endlessly fascinating but taste-sensitive brutalist monsters.
This one, Blakeburg, like many, is under threat of being demolished. A true waste...

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.
After millions years evolution, these turkeys still preserve their survival character: alert and agile, reminding me the dinosaurs in the Jurassic park.
Scavenge challenge - unreal animals . One has to be a dinosaur. Well I'm not driving for three hours to get to the Natural History Museum in Stockholm where I know there are several dinosaurs so I made one. Hope this is ok.
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.

"Climate change caused by volcanic eruptions played a role in massive die-offs for the dinosaurs - long before a comet or asteroid impact sealed their fate"
Huge boulders tumble down a fork of the Wallace River like displaced dinosaur eggs.
Happy Saturated Saturday!
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 :)
King of Dinosaurs - 66 million years old, 4 metres high, 12 metres long and with almost all its terrifying teeth intact: Tristan Otto, the king of the dinosaurs, is in Copenhagen this autumn and gave me the chance to get up close with one of the world's most complete Tyrannosaurus rex fossils.
Think about the dimensions when you sit and look at this picture on your mobile phone. I had goosebumps where I stood next to it!

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.

A Jurassic feeling kind of light. Image is looking south over Dinosaur Ridge in Morrison, CO. "Dinosaur Ridge is a segment of the Dakota Hogback in the Morrison Fossil Area National Natural Landmark located in Jefferson County, Colorado, near the town of Morrison and just west of Denver. The Dinosaur Ridge area is one of the world's most famous dinosaur fossil localities." (two frame pano)
Porth Nanven, is a secluded spot on the west coast of Cornwall’s south-western tip. It lies at the mouth of the Cot Valley, about a mile’s walk from the town of St Just, which is characterised by its granite miner’s cottages.
In the spring and early summer the hedgerows of the narrow lanes of the valley are abundant with masses of wildflowers, such as three-cornered leek, cow parsley and lady’s mantle. There are also old disused mine shafts to the left and right which are not safe for exploring, as many of them are not sealed off. Dogs need to be kept on a lead.
The defining feature of this beach is the covering of round granite boulders that give it the nickname Dinosaur Egg Beach. Some of these smooth boulders can be seen embedded in the soft cliffs surrounding the beach, dating back to a time when sea levels were much higher. However, there are no fossils to be found here. A thin strip of soft, golden sand is exposed for around an hour each side of low tide.
Looking out towards the sea, the rocky twin peaks of the Brison islets, named after the Cornish word for ‘prison’ – ‘brissen’ – as they were once used as basic jails. However, in Cornish, they are known as ‘Enys Vordardh’, or ‘breaker island’, as they have caused many historic shipwrecks.
Today, they are a busy nesting spot for gannets, gulls, storm petrels, puffins and red-billed choughs. The islets’ 25m-high peaks slowly turn frosty white with guano throughout the breeding season. They are also thought to resemble a man on his back, leading to the nickname, ‘Charles de Gaulle in his bath’.
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!

I decided to practice toy photography this week since my daughter is on Fall recess. We can play with her toys and come up with some fun action hopefully too. I was stuck on hold with the phone company and made good use of my time waiting. Lots of room to improve but it's a fun start. There are several toy photographers that I follow and there's a lot to be inspired by.

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).
