Crystal Palace wasn't exactly what I espected. The palace burnt down back in the 30s, its former site is some kind of desolate wasteland - Ozymandias like. The rest of the park is a bit disappointing, too but one thing remains of that great festival of education, commerce and culture: the dinosaur park.
There is a collection of great concrete dinosaurs - based on the fossils found around that time (and predating Darwin's origin of the species). The scientists who constructed the dino models were quite revolutionary - but they didn't get everything exactly right. But it's still pretty cool.
I'm quite tired from today's adventures - so perhaps I'll update with more detail later - meantime, here are some pictures:
And here's a bonus Ice Age mammal:
