Galleta Meadows Estate, Desert sculpture park in Borrego Springs, US.

Galleta Meadows Estate is an art park in the desert with over 130 steel metal sculptures spread across multiple plots of land. The works show dinosaurs, animals, and human figures in different sizes and positions.

Dennis Avery, heir to the Avery label fortune, bought plots of desert land at Borrego Springs for conservation and commissioned Southern California artist Ricardo Breceda to make the sculptures, which grew into a group of over 130 works. Avery is now deceased.

The sculptures were commissioned by Dennis Avery, heir to the Avery label fortune, who placed them on land he bought for conservation. Ricardo Breceda of Southern California made them. Themes run from dinosaurs and desert animals such as scorpions and bighorn sheep to a priest carrying a cross through the desert.

The park is free to visit year-round and can be explored by car or on foot. The best time to photograph is early morning or late afternoon, when the light is softer.

The roughly 350-foot dragon by Ricardo Breceda is the estate's longest sculpture, made to look as if it snakes into and over the desert sand. Its head, with horn-like spikes along the top and jagged pieces hanging from the jaw, rests on the sand near two smaller rounded sculptures.
