Tranquil on this day but you can see by the erosion on the far bank that the Snoqualmie River can raise its hackles when it wants to.
I'll update the map as soon as I figure out where the heck I was, I can tell you that it is one of many trailheads you'll pass on the way to Garfield Ledges and that I was drawn to it by a pyramid of a peak that is off to the right of this, you'll know it when you see it, haven't found out its name either...
This rock formation at Roxborough State Park, just south of Denver,
Colorado, reminds me of a close-up of the back of a stegosaurus.
We were on our way to hike in the Dragoon Mountains when we unexpectedly found a large collection of dinosaurs on display by Dragoon Road.

This particular sunset was cropped and zoomed in so you could see that fabulous flat bottomed dark cloud...no enhancement whatsoever!! :D
...enlarge for best details!

The Clavell Tower overlooking the ledges at Kimmeridge Bay in Dorset, part of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site.
Remember those dinos with the spikes running along their spine? That's what this part of Casaval Ridge makes me think of with its spiky appearance and late afternoon shadows. The Red Banks are on the right. Mount Shasta

It was pretty darn cool.
This perspective was from the walkway that heads from the entrance, around the festival green on its east side.
I had grand plans for this week's Macro Mondays challenge, "in ice" but alas "“The best laid schemes o' mice an' men / Gang aft a-gley.” (go awry) -- Robert Burns. Turns out I need to learn lots more about making ice that is more clear. This poor Stegosaurus just doesn't look like he is melting out of an ice sheet as intended. Oh well perhaps another time...
Happy Macro Monday!
A very rare stone, possibly never seen before. The shape of this amethyst just reminded me of a dinosaur, as well as the faceted, scaly "skin".
Built for my Iron Builder round against Cecilie Fritzvold. I went back and forth with myself over whether to post this or not, as my competitor beat me to the punch and uploaded her own stegosaurus while I was building this. Think of it as bonus content. :)
Follow me:
The most complete skeleton apparently of this ancient creature. Only the front left leg and a bit of the back are casts. The rest is original skeleton, laboriously excavated in Colorado, USA. Natural History Museum, London.
As a herbivorous quadruped with a diet of mainly low-lying bushes and shrubs, there's not much for him on the beach but it was a nice enough evening for a walk.

I had both the science and the dinosaur bug when I was a little girl, but no plastic models for me! These bronze statues (~1965) at just under 3 inches tall, were one of my treasures. I was so excited to find them in the garage when cleaning out my parents' house.
For Macro Mondays "Metal"
A Stegosaurus sculpture at Benton & Sons metal fabrication in Pikeville NC. They did a wonderful job on this aluminum wonder.
This, the most complete Stegosaurus specimen known, is the new jewel in the NHM's crown. It is a real privilege to be able to see such a stunning fossil. The museum have presented the animal beautifully.
The skull in the photos is a cast. The museum is currently using the original for research, and is likely to be doing so for the next decade. One of the major reasons for wishing to acquire the specimen (something this museum does rather rarely now) was because the skull has not been squashed during fossilization, but rather separated into constituent bones. This opens up the possibility of revealing details of the form of the animal's brain.
Dinosaur Land, a roadside attraction in White Post, Virginia, features more than 50 giant model dinosaurs on display.
Our fourteenth entry to our Iron Builder with Siercon and Coral.
This one may be a herbivore, but watch out for those green spikes! ;)
