Dinosaur

Lancaster has a new piece of public art, though considering that it's made of birch twigs, not a permanent one.  Good thing I took a photo while it's still fairly new.

The sculpture, at the corner of Brock Street and Thurnham Street, Lancaster, UK commemorates the birthplace, two hundred years and a fortnight ago, of Sir Richard Owen, founder of the Natural History Museum, London and inventor of the word 'dinosaur'.
