A spiderman performer outside the Royal Ontario Museum, Toronto. There was an exhibition about spiders going on in the museum, so I don't know if he was part of the show, or just taking advantage of the moment.

An ancient Egyptian statuette of a servant from the Royal Ontario Museum, Toronto. It's a small piece, but three or four thousand years ago someone took the time to carve it, paint it and put it together. Someone knew what it meant and someone put it in a grave, presumably of someone they loved.

A bronze figure of the god Odin, from the Viking exhibition at the Royal Ontario Museum, Toronto, originally from Sweden. (Taken with a cell phone pressed against the glass case).

Dancing fossils. This is a bird fossil (cast);130 million years old from China. It is roughly the size of a sparrow ("Liaoxiornis delicates, Royal Ontario Museum. Toronto).

A pair of fossil birds, Confuciusorni dui, from China, 130 million years old, united in death. Probably a female and male. In the Royal Ontario Museum, Toronto.

A yellow and blue Chinese plate; the symbol means longevity or long life- A 100 times long life and a prosperous New Year for 2017. From the Royal Ontario Museum, Toronto.

This is a cast replica of a huge dinosaur- "Futalognkosaurus" ( foo-ta-long-koh-sohr-us ) - recently discovered in Patagonia. The fossil is colossal and this is a closer shot of the pelvis looking up from between the legs. It was photographed at the Royal Ontario Museum, Toronto. According to Wikipedia the word “Futalognkosaurus” derives from the local language of Mapudungun : "futa" meaning "giant", "lognko" meaning "chief" (so giant-chief-lizard). It would have been between 26-34 M long (a blue whale is up to about 30m).

This is an old photo I took a few years ago in the Royal Ontario Museum, Toronto.

A fossil bat from the Royal Ontario Museum, Toronto. About 50 million years old it is called Icaronycterus index which I guess comes from the myth of Icarus, the boy who made a set of wings but flew too close to the sun.

This is a hadrosaur or duck-billed dinosaur, Edmontosaurus annectens , originally found in Alberta and now in the lobby of the Royal Ontario Museum, Toronto. It was a herbivore, and lived about 70 million years ago. The photo is a composite of several smaller photographs taken from close up. This was done first because the fossil is behind a fence-like enclosure to keep hands off, very understandable but it didn’t look very good in the photos. Getting close allowed the fence to be lost. Second, getting close should, in theory, pick up more detail. The joins are a bit “off” in several places but it was the closest to true that I could get.
