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.
The unique shape of the 15m high sea stack resembles a giant dinosaur enjoying a drink from the ocean.
The shot was taken at sunrise (and what a sunrise it was!) on my last day in Iceland. What a glorious way to end such an unforgettable trip!

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.

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.

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 :)
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.

... a dinosaur.

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)
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.
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.
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.
Just visited the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology in Drumheller, AB, to view very impressive, beautiful and extraordinary displays of dinos created by human hands. Undeniably, they look very realistic to the point, that one can think they are alive. Shooting dinosaurs in the dark, moody room was quite challenging, especially that one can only use a tripod as mono pod, so I decided to shoot straight from my hand and cranking up the ISO. Enjoy it!
Thanks for your visits and comments.

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

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.
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’.
What do you do when your new fence gets wrecked? If you live across the street from a dinosaur, blame him.
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.
I wanted to illustrate how I am still a child at heart. I love dinosaurs, and as a graphic designer, I've done a few digital drawings of them, so I decided to unite myself with one of the drawings. For me these pictures show my inner child, my imagination, and a few aspects of my art.
Every cyberDJ could use an assist from a mini-raptor. . .
