Brachiaosaurus Spotted in Chicago's O'Hare Airport

I had the opportunity to fly through Chicago's O'Hare Airport three times this year.  One of my favorite sights at the Terminal is the brachiosaurus in the B concourse of Terminal 1.

The brachiosaurus   model is four-stories high and  72 feet long. It's on loan from the Chicago Field Museum (another favorite place of mine).

Wow, that thing is SO Big! I'll have to look for it in the spring when I fly thru O'Hare. Great captures. Most people weren't even looking up.

Love the way the ceiling detail becomes a part of the ribs of the dino! Great compositions!

Having most of the photo black and white and the dots of color at the bottom makes this photo extremely dramatic. Who would believe that an airport could look so good. Between the dino and the light tunnel, O'Hare gets a big +++++ in my book and your photography gets the +++++ to match!
