The Coolest Place In California

This is the Queen Califia's Magic Circle in Escondido California it
was created by Niki De Saint Phalla. I have never been but I think this year I will make the trip down to see it. For more info http://www.queencalifia.org/ and for more info about Niki http://www.nikidesaintphalle.com/
The materials range from colored mirror, glass gems, ceramic tiles and stones.


The circular Snake wall is 400 feet long and ranges from 4 to 9 feet high

This scuplture is 24' x 22'x 20' and the egg is a solar powered fountain



Love the snakes!




There are a total of 8 totems ranging from 11 feet tall to 21 feet tall.
