Dippy (Diplodocus) in the Snow
Driving through Oakland. A snowstorm. Lights in the night. An enormous Diplodocus accumulating snowfall on his back. Sporting a red knit scarf. Pull to the curb. Forbes Avenue. Turn on the flashers. Get out of the car. Focus. Shoot. Find the beauty of winter.
Diplodocus Carnegiei-22 feet high- 84 feet long- 3000 pounds! Click the blue word Diplodocus in text above to read about him.

My god. I thought these things were all dead.
There is hope!

Ruth E – did you knit that scarf and put it around his neck?

This post made me very happy Ruth. Not to many scenes of winter storms can do that. Thanks.

Thanks for the Wikipedia link too. I loved reading about the sculpture. It’s one of my favorite outdoor sculptures in the city. Nice snow shot.
