Hi Alex, i like to think about dinosaurs, not just how they died, but what it must have been like when they lived, and how the earth shook when they stomped by.
This photo is from a place called Prospect, about a half-hour's drive from where I live. It's a big headland covered in huge boulders, which a glacier left behind when it melted over 10,000 years ago. There were no dinosaurs then, but big mastodons lived in Nova Scotia - like a furry elephant.
At Prospect, the sea crashes in big waves against the rocks; It's a big moor covered in gorse and juniper, with wild roses and irises, and cranberries growing in the boggy wet spots. It's a really beautiful place; you can see more pictures of it here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/windsea/tags/prospect/
The girl in the red jacket is *my* daughter, just a few days before her 12th birthday.
