Second #JurassicJune post!
Oops, turns out they were both male, but Miragaia doesn't seem to mind. We continue our journey over the lands of the Lourinhã Formation, with some Lusotitan and Dinheirosaurus/Supersaurus patrolling the floodplains. A Draconyx herd in the background.
Torvosaurus gurneyi strolling through a forest, without going all "hurr I'm a big theropod here's my teeth" cause he's an animal, not a movie monster. :P

Sun Pillar Over Lourinhã, Portugal Photographer: Paulo P. Pereira; Summary Authors: Paulo P. Pereira, Jim Foster
One afternoon earlier in the spring I noticed this striking Sun pillar on the western horizon. It was visible for more than 30 minutes. After the Sun had set it turned red and pink (lower right photo). If ice crystals are stacked horizontally in cirrus clouds and tipped in the direction of the viewer, then the Sun's waning light is reflected in the form of a column or spike. Note also the extended sundogs on either side of the pillar, approximately 22 degrees from it and the position of the Sun. Photo taken on April 16, 2018.

Louriana is a wine spirit produced in the Lourinhã Demarcated Region. Prepared under a rigorous method, distilled from carefully selected wines and aged in oak casks, its elegance, and aroma, provide rare moments of tasting and pleasure. Aguardente DOC Lourinhã is produced in the only Demarcated Region in Portugal solely for the production of Aguardentes. It appeared thirty years ago after studies were made in the Estação Vitivinícola de Dois Portos, where its superior quality was tested and confirmed, which only finds a parallel, at the European level, in French brandies from the Cognac and Armagnac regions. Louriana est un alcool de vin produit dans la région délimitée de Lourinhã. Élaboré selon une méthode rigoureuse, distillé à partir de vins soigneusement sélectionnés et vieilli en fûts de chêne, son élégance et son arôme offrent de rares moments de dégustation et de plaisir.
