If you travel a lot and your vacation photos feel slightly rote and uninspired, look no further: Jorge Saenz has the best travel photo idea that we’ve seen in awhile. And no, it’s not about the environment, the poses, or the country — instead, it’s all about the dinosaurs. Saenz uses plastic dinosaur toys as the main focus of his images, turning the average travel photo into a scene from Jurassic Park (that is, of course, if Jurassic Park didn’t go terribly, terribly wrong). The photos are well-framed, clever, and totally hilarious, and they might even give you a few ideas for your next vacation.
**Saenz’s work proves that even the kindly brontosaurus needs a vacation.**
