词条 Galleta Meadows Estate
释义

  1. References

Galleta Meadows Estate is privately-owned desert estate land that consists of many separate plots in Borrego Springs, California and that features over 130 large metal art sculptures.[1] The sculptures were created by Southern California artist Ricardo Breceda via commission from Dennis Avery, the owner of Galleta Meadows.[2] Now deceased and an heir to the Avery label fortune, Mr. Avery located the sculptures on land he purchased for conservation.[1][3]

Galleta Meadows is unfenced and open to the public for visitation, including hiking, horseback riding, picnicking, photography, and bicycling every day of the year.[4]. Borrego Springs is a village completely surrounded by the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, the largest state park in California.

The Galleta Meadows metal sculptures have different themes.[5] The largest theme appears to be of prehistoric animals, including dinosaurs. Other themes have a connection to the desert environment in which they are located, such as desert animals, including scorpions and bighorn sheep. There is also at least one religious sculpture of a priest carrying a cross through the desert. There is also an approximately 350-foot long dragon that gives the illusion of it snaking into and over top the desert sand.
