If you've made your way on the annual snowbird migration to Anza Borrego Desert State Park in Southeastern California for the Spring wildflower display you may think you've accidentally mixed some magic mushrooms in with your salad greens when you look out across the desert floor.
But don't become alarmed. What you see is a collection of metal sculptures scattered about created by artist Ricardo Breceda. Though his sculptures are now found around the world, the greatest concentration is in Borrego Valley, a project commissioned by a Borrego landowner on private land called Galleta Meadows within the state park, land that he has held for years for conservation.
The sculptures range from Pleistocene mammoths, to a 350-foot dragon, and a full-size Jeep CJ-3A with a driver and passenger--over 100 in all. The exhibit is open to the public and you can even camp for up to three days among the creatures. I wonder what seeing the menagerie in the moonlight will do to inspire some lively dreams.
