Difficult to follow my last posting, so back to the norm for me I guess
This little fellow (Land Iguana) was warming himself up in the early morning sun after a cold night in his burrow. I guess he was just over two feet in length, or should I say, under a metre , but boy can they move when they want too. With their powerful claws and whipping tail they are a formidable creature and very much from the dinosaur period. Probably the biggest Iguana on the Galápagos islands.

Ray Harryhausen. What could he have made with cgi and the digital effects of today? I'm showing my age as well. Great shot b.t.w.

Hi Stephen
Looks like you have encountered some photogenic species on your recent travels another fine image. Normally I would say this was a bit tight in the frame but as it is almost head-on it is more like a portrait and works quite well!
