This may be one of the most seen and touched fossils at Niagara Falls. It is part of a rock wall setting that borders the edge of the sea lion entry exhibit. At any point people are touching, leaning, sitting, climbing--somehow generally interacting with the large rock this is part of. Because of course, it is a vantage spot to watch the outdoor sea lions.

What the fossil is I have little idea. What struck me was its resemblance to an old satellite image of somewhere exotic...

What a great capture! A lure would be to crop down the section with the child, but the couple and their expressions walking by tell a story of things far deeper...

Well executed. Have to love the Fujis! And in general as a B&W enthusiast, your handling of tonality is spot on once again.

@Jon Eckman I don't know what it is about some of these simple, ordinary things but when rendered in BW and adjusted for a tonal match to the emotion just rock...

This guy was hanging around, and I asked him for the time. That is when he turned away and I took the shot. Cue Chicago...

Does anybody really know what time it is? Good one.
