Borrego Springs, CA bighorn sheep sculptures (# 0634 )

Borrego Springs, CA bighorn sheep sculptures (# 0634 )
The ewe and her barely visible lamb.

****

Part of an extensive metal sculpture display scattered across the desert in Borrego Springs, CA. Overall there are 130 sculptures scattered over the open desert; the display was created with an aim of using sculptures in natural settings (often of animals native to the area) to encourage reflection on the environement. The original creator of the display was Dennis Avery, the owner of Galleta Meadows Estate where many of the sculptures are located. The artist was artist/welder (Ricardo Breceda) who is based in Perris, CA. When Avery died, the Under the Sun Foundation took over responsibility for sculptures.

The pictures are from a Christmas Day 2020 visit to only a small portion of the display, since there are many pictures, I’ll post them at various times in the future.
