Photo of the Week: Dinosaur

Who says they're extinct?

I sighted this dinosaur (apparently an immature Ianthasaurus or a close relative), atop a ledge outside the Ithaca Coffee Company emporium during a recent trip to that Upstate New York town. It was very still, as if frightened by the presence of caffeine-powered humans. In fact, by the time I left, it remained in exactly the same position -- no doubt stunned by the many changes to the landscape wrought by the passage of so many eons since its ancestors ruled the earth.
