http://public.fotki.com/susi484/in_and_around_conne/a_big_green_dinosau/ The Peabody Museum is known worldwide for its dinosaur exhibits - The Peabody Museum is across from my office so each day I would take a couple photos of what was being created. Still the finishing touches have to be done and opening ceremonies will take place but here's a little for now. I began snapping photos on August 17, 2005 and will continue throughout the project. Okay, it's Saturday, Oct.22 and today was the "unveiling" for Greenie...even though it was raining and I missed the grand ceremony, I headed over to snap a couple pics of him. Here are his birthday shots. The completed project - simply amazing for all to see as the drive along Whitney Avenue in front of the Peabody Museum, New Haven, CT. http://images.fotki.com/logo3.gif http://public.fotki.com/susi484/in_and_around_conne/a_big_green_dinosau/ http://public.fotki.com/susi484/in_and_around_conne/a_big_green_dinosau/02.html The granite comes from a quarry in Stoney Creek
