Baja Moose
What is the story behind this mountainside near the Bay of Concepcion? Looks like a moose rack outlined w/whitewash.

land art
I know the same artist made a picture of a whale with white rocks you can see from a plane. Gabriela Ochoa from Krutsio was telling me about him.

yep, I forgot his name.
The landscape where you took the picture always has the same effect on people, they never know if it is manmade or real or what....... until yu take
the time to hike there and you realie it's painted.

I may be misinformed but,
maybe an old chicano mural artist out of San Diego named Luis Espanoza? (really and truly sorry on the spelling, I totaly screwed it up and can't find
it in the dictonary to save my life. Also if it actually was someone else), but it seems years ago in my faded memory, he was credited with having
done the piece. Anyway, if anyone knows of Luis's recent history, I am interested to know how he is doing. I saw him a few years back after he had
suffered a stroke and for him art had become just watching the sun rise and set.

Flames, I always thought the rocks looked like flames as we would drive by. Then one trip down in, yes I believe it was the late 80's, lo and behold
sombody had outlined the whole thing with white and as I recall some red/orange too.
There was an article in one of the baja magazines once about the artist. Can't remember the name, so I'll take Sara's word for it.
No b-tchin\' in the Baja.

I was very impressed with it more than a half dozen years ago when I spent about three weeks doing absolutely nothing at La Perla, just south of El
Requeson. I was told that the brown rocks are a natural outcropping and the (no doubt Christo inspired) artist received a gov't grant to outline it
in white paint. Thus, it is abstract and represents whatever your subconcious wants it to represent. I think it's cool. I hate dumb looking
graffitti imposed upon nature, but sometimes a natural formation suggests something that can be enhanced without destroying it and maybe brings a
little smile to the traveler.
