Looking directly up at the raised, right forelimb and the neck and head of the Barosaurus in the atrium of the American Museum of Natural History in New York. The fossil animal looks as if it is about to crush you with its foot. The forelimb is in the left foreground and slightly out of focus. The very long neck stretches from just right-of-centre at the bottom towards the top right corner of the portrait photo. The bottom of the skull at the end of the neck is visible in the near-centre of an octagonal relief on the distant ceiling of the atrium. More octagonal reliefs are seen forming a uniform pattern across the background, with smaller squares completing the tessellation between the octagons.
