Galleta Meadows Estates in Borrego Springs. Steel Welded Sculptures. The detail is amazing. Well worth a trip to Borrego Springs.
They are huge and there are many of them. Tortoises, Elephants, Sloths, Camels, Raptors, Wild Sheep,Giant Birds and Wild Horses. All in Jumbo size.
You can drive right by them or walk along and get a close up, birds-eye view.
The Galleta Meadows Estates is owned by Dennis Avery(yes, Avery labels). Mr Avery commissioned these sculptures from Ricardo Breceda, a small time local artist who was creating his passion and subsequently became a multi-millionaire thanks to Dennis Avery.
Mr Avery commissioned these sculptures to help bring visitors into the Borrego Springs area. Thus increasing the wealth of the whole town.
Those sculptures are something else!!! Huge monsters! Very interesting and thanks for sharing your photos.
