Here are a couple from Dinosaur National Monument. I took a drive through here on my way back from Fantasy Canyon. I don't really know much about the place, as the visitor center was closed for renovation. Apparently, they dig up a lot of Dinosaur skeletons in this area. Which, as any good religious person will tell you, were placed there by God, about 10,000 years ago, when he created the world, to trick scientists into thinking the world is actually millions of years old.

I'm excited to announce, I have finally finished a HUGE project that I have been working on for several months.
I have accumulated such a massive amount of photos on flickr that I desperately needed to separate them into more organized categories, so that anyone looking for a specific subject matter can possibly find what they are looking for without wading through thousands of random photos.
Sooooooo… For the past several months, I have spent hundreds of hours, slowly wading through more than 2500 photos I have up on flickr and sorted them into a bunch of new sets, based on MOOD… WEATHER CONDITIONS… SEASON… REGION… SUBJECT MATTER…
Anyway… I hope now, that anyone looking for a photo of something specific can find it without 10 hours of randomly searching.
.
Some of the new sets include………………….
•ETHEREAL DREAMSCAPES… This is my favorite one. It was also the hardest set to categorize and describe. Even harder to decide what I should put in it. Basically... Anything soft, moody, and dreamlike. Fog. Lightrays. A path through a foggy forest... Early morning's first rays of light. Photos that evoke a sense of peace and tranquility. Blue skies are just… BORING!
•OTHERWORLDLY… The southwest has a lot of bizarre places that just look like a whole other planet. For crazy rock formations and bizarre scenery that doesn't even look like it belongs on Earth, I have created this set for places like that. Prepare for a journey to another universe.
•CITYSCAPES… I like to spend most of my time out in the wilderness, shooting landscapes. However, I also enjoy shooting some of man's creations. Cities and architecture can be fascinating to shoot. It is always a challenge getting the lighting right, and finding clean, unobstructed foregrounds. I shoot mostly at dusk. A LOT more work goes into these shots than most of my landscapes.
STORMY WEATHER… When it comes to photograpjy, The nastier the weather the more interesting the photo. Rain. Snow. Ominous clouds. Lightning. Anything stormy. No blue skies allowed in this set!
NIGHTTIME… This has become my latest obsession this year. I have shot so many millions of photos during the daylight hours over the years, the results have gotten quite predictable. I've recently been doing a lot of experimentation with shooting with moonlight and stars. You're never quite sure what you're going to get until you got it.
TROPICAL GETAWAYS… Think. Palm Trees. Palm Trees. Palm Trees. Aqua water… Anything tropical.
ICE & SNOW… And, when you get tired of palm trees, you can cool off with my Ice & Snow set!
SUNRISES & SUNSETS… I will never get tired of shooting them. There are no two quite alike. If the sky is looking nice, I am probably out shooting.
AUTUMN… I think the title pretty much says it all. Anything with fall color. Mostly Colorado, and the northeast. A few years ago, before I moved out west, I shot some great fall foliage in Maine, New Hampshire, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania.
NATIONAL PARKS… Lots of photos in this set. This is for all the National Parks I have visited.
I've also added a lot of photos to my DOORS, WINDOWS & ARCHITECTURE set. This set used to be just doors and windows, but I have expanded it to include all kinds of interesting and unique architecture.
Please check some of them out when you have some time to look. Let me know what you think.
When you open a set, If you click on where it says "Detail" near the top of the page, the photos all open up larger, so you don't have to look at those tiny little square thumbnails.
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.
A shot of a piece of drift wood that washed up on Ala Moana park in Honolulu, Hawaii. Across you can see downtown Waikiki and Diamond Head. Thought the piece of wood actually looked like a bone from a Dinosaur.

Follow the rule of Thirds. They say good photographers follow the rule, but for some great photographers they always break the rule. By putting my horizontal line in the middle it looks like not following the rule. The reason I put my horizontal in the middle was because I wanted to keep both the textures of the sky and the water here.
In fact, if you use fisheye or wide angle lens you will know which rule is right for you!
What is it in your mind?
This T-Rex was seen on the Canadian side of Niagara Falls. There is an area there called Clifton Hill, which has so much to see and do. It reminded me a lot of Times Square in New York.
This guy was seen at the Dinosaur Adventure Golf. It's a great miniature golf course filled with life-size dinosaurs and a flame erupting volcano! I cannot wait to get back to Canada!
This Dilophosaurus was seen on the Canadian side of Niagara Falls. There is an area there called Clifton Hill, which has so much to see and do. It reminded me a lot of Times Square in New York.

The Crystal Palace Dinosaurs, also known as Dinosaur Court, are a series of sculptures of dinosaurs and other extinct animals in Crystal Palace Park, in the London borough of Bromley. Commissioned in 1852 to accompany the Crystal Palace after its move from the Great Exhibition in Hyde Park and unveiled in 1854, they were the first dinosaur sculptures in the world, pre-dating the publication of Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species by six years. While to varying degrees inaccurate by modern standards, the models were designed and sculpted by Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins under the scientific direction of Sir Richard Owen, representing the latest scientific knowledge at the time. The models were classed as Grade II listed buildings from 1973, extensively restored in 2002, and upgraded to Grade I listed in 2007

This photo was taken with a Canon 60D, Tokina 11-16mm lens. It is a stack of 120 frames, 30 sec each at f/2.8 ISO3600. There was a half moon that lit the landscape and passing road train headlights that lit up the foreground sign.
Dinosaur Provincial Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site located about two and a half hours drive southeast of Calgary, Alberta, Canada. It is noted for its striking badland topography. The park is well known for being one of the richest dinosaur fossil locales in the world (Wikipedia).
A little while ago i decided to dream about dinosaurs . Poor Dinosaur existed only 231.4 million years ago. i wish we had few of them still hanging around. i wouldn't mind petting them.
only problem was how to take a photo in the dream. but looks like it worked ;-)

I would like to say thank you to Tammy (Aka cupcakelady) for giving me permission to use her dinosaur and bone designs to inspire my dinosaur set. I could not resist adding a baby dinosaur and a footprint to the set too :-)
The area near the Stegosaurus and T-Rex sculptures in Sugar Mill Gardens has been designated a children's area now, and the fun signs with bite marks out of them are a lot of fun for kids and adults alike!
I posted the Stegosaurus earlier, and that is actually relatively realistic looking, but the T-Rex is not, and like the Giant Ground Sloth I call Barney, looks really goofy! I wonder if that was done intentionally so children wouldn't be as afraid of the life sized replicas all over the gardens, especially the fierce T-Rex. Of some 25 or more dinosaurs in the park, only 5 sculptures remain now. One is quite small, and I often walk right past it and forget to photograph it, as I did this time, but you can find it in other Sugar Mill Gardens albums from the past.
The sculptures are protected now, but about all that is being done is to put fences part way around them, in hopes of keeping children (and adults) off them so there is no further damage. The fences don't even go all the way around, so they are kind of pointless, and only serve to block the view and make them difficult to photograph.
Back in the day, I've heard the dinos were painted, but all that has worn off over the decades. Created in the 1940's, these large sculptures were placed outside, and have weathered hurricanes and extreme heat for 70 years. No one seems to know what happened to the other 20+ dinosaurs, but my guess is that they succumbed to the weather. What's left is a treasure of Florida's history of the mid century period.

What an adventure! Dinosaur escaped from Clare College in the morning and I've been trying to track it down all day:-) Finally captured up by King's and led away to the Sedgwick Museum. Cambridge is safe again.

Dinosaur Provincial Park in Alberta, Canada. The park is well known for being one of the greatest dinosaur fossil beds in the world. Thirty-nine dinosaur species have been discovered at the park and more than 500 specimens have been removed and exhibited in museums around the world. Its significance justified it becoming a World Heritage Site in 1979. I didn't come across any dinosaurs or their bones but I did find some beauty in the eroded shapes and the cloud formations. Captured in late afternoon as the clouds were rolling in across the badlands.
Hypsibema was a Hadrosaur or "Duck Billed" dinosaur of the late Cretaceous period. An herbivore, it is estimated to have had around 1,000 small teeth, weighed 3-4 tons (about as much as an elephant), stood 10 feet tall at its back and stretched about 30-35 feet from head to tail.
All dinosaurs laid eggs. The largest dinosaur eggs were as large as basketballs. The bigger the egg, the thicker the shell. About 40 kinds of dinosaurs eggs have been discovered.
Lots of people fill the Central Hall in the Natural History Museum - one of the last days of the school holidays combined with the Dinosaur exhibition made this a popular museum to visit. Almost dark by the time we found the hall, but still popular!

Day 65
19/52 - Bones
First thing that came in my head when I heard the theme was.........dinosaur skeletons! I just had to take a picture that deals with it. But I wanted to take a more fun version of the theme...because bones is such a dark theme in my opinion :)
