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.
Those pesky cloned dinosaurs are once again out in the Utah landscape. Seeing the life size dinos out in the landscape is pretty cool and fun.

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.

This is a closeup of a rhinoceros iguana found in the Dominican Republic. This particular iguana was found at the Scape Park's iguana enclosure in Punta Cana.

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 :)
Who doesn't think dinosaurs are cool. Prehistorica is a great place to visit for photographers. You can temporarily rez things long enough to take a picture usually.
It's really for people changing into dinosaurs but I rezzed a campfire for a scene in my video. It's trickier if you're videoing because autoreturn is 5 min -- seems a little longer though because I was able to move my campfire across the doorway to a better spot and get my shot before it disappeared.

The Landing Point is in their crossroads: choose Experiences, Avatars or Hangout.
To get to the land of the Dinosaurs:
* head for the door that says "Experiences"
* hang a left to "Dawn Kingdoms: Time Travel Experience"
* go through the portal
You will land on a beach.
There's a dinosaur you can ride; just click on the Gallimimus or the Pteranodon.

I am experimenting with 2 different pictures/thumbnails for my youtube video. This is my 2nd thumbnail. I usually don't like that much "empty" space but it works well for text.
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.
One of my cousins is in the hospital right now and she is in critical condition because of a blood clot that went to her brain. She delivered her baby boy, a preemie, a couple of days ago. I can't imagine the grief and stress that they are all going through right now. We are all just waiting and hoping and praying that she will recover. I wanted this image to represent the chaos that is life.
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.
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.

I saw this rainbow yesterday as I looked up from working and shot it through the window glass.
The church spire in the distance is known locally as St Dinosaurs (St Dionysius) and is in the heart of Market Harborough, about one mile from where I live on the southern edge of the town.
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)

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.
Liked the greens, landscape, and blue sky layers there with the CPL filter in the Utah area of this park.
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.
