Dinosaur Sighting: Colorful Stegosaurus
A colorful Stegosaurus sculpture at Dinosaur National Monument.
When my wife and I pulled into the parking lot of Dinosaur National Monument we were greeted by a rather imposing figure. Standing in front of us was this sculpture of a strikingly-colored Stegosaurus. Just what color this dinosaur would be in real life is open to discussion, but I had never seen one with this color pattern before.

Pic is way too small. Got a higher-res version, a full shot of the sculpture, or more angles? I’m interested in the artist’s vision.
When I went to Dinosaur National Monument in 2002, the statue was also brightly colored, though not like this. Either way, it’s more interesting than the dull green color it used to be.
