The Dragon of The Siskiyous
On our way to the West Coast Eisteddfod in L.A. last month Gaabriel and I were amazed to find what appeared to be a large metal Ddraig Goch by the side of I5 in the Siskiyous. We took it as a good omen for the success of the event.
We were not disappointed. The event was indeed a huge success and we determined to take some pics of this strange creature on the return journey.
After consulting Google image search we discovered that the dragon, whose name is Penelope, is the work of Siskiyou based sculptor Ralph Starritt. You can read more about him here:- http://siskiyouartscouncil.org/registry/starritt.htm
Diolch for bringing us luck ( Penelope ) and inspiration ( Ralph )
Gorgeous! This has to be practically in my neighborhood to as I live in Phoenix just north of the Siskiyou Pass yet I've never heard of it. So thanx for sharing.
WOW What a good omen that was. I wonder if Penelope has been there for a while
or if it was placed there for the Festival?
Diolch for the pics.
