silent creatures
frozen forever in their stately stances
some familiar and magnificent
others menacingly predatory
dredged up from the archives
of ancient beasts we’ve never known
they wile away the hours
in the desert sun
submitting to our curious cameras
and fanatical finger pointing
and stimulating our senses
with raw wonder
about their extinct existence
on our way back from the salton sea we spent some time with relatives in borrego springs. they happen to live within walking distance of a bunch of these creatures. it's quite a phenomenon and the artist is adding more sculptures all the time. you can read more about him here.
Absolutely fascinating, Patty! Is this privately funded or public funding? Amazing. Again, many thanks for introducing me to such interesting 'stuff'.
