Did you know that dinosaurs, mammoths and sabre-toothed cats still roam the deserts of San Diego County in California? Outside of the town of Borrego Springs lies Galleta Meadows. Scattered around the staggering dessert landscapes, enormous steel sculptures are juxtaposed against the pristine heavens. The man behind it, Dennis Avery, called it
Sky Art. It is easy to see why.
If you work in an office environment then his name will ring a bell. He founded the company you use for your labels. Although he passed away in 2012 he ensured that his vision would live on. He allotted the land around the remarkable sculptures as a place where people could set up camp and visit free of charge. It is certainly worth a visit to the desert to encounter his extraordinary legacy, although you do have to be careful of a very much extant animal – the rattlesnake.
