On my way back from Montana, I had a layover in Chicago's O'Hare International Airport, and it was there that I spotted this impressive mount of Brachiosaurus altithorax. Another skeletal restoration of the immense dinosaur stands outside the city's famed Field Museum. I have to say that seeing this one near my departure terminal made me think about heading right back out into the field.
