In the flat and otherwise featureless desert around the dispersed town of Borrego Springs are 130 iron sculptures, mostly of animals, alive or extinct, created from 2007 onwards by artist Richard Breceda, installed on undeveloped land, beside or close to Borrego Springs Road. The formations, known as the Galleta Meadows Sky Art, are in two major groups, one south of the town center, either side of the short east-west section of the road, the other, larger group north of the center towards the far end of the road.

The color of the ironwork is rich red/brown, partly the result of weathering beneath the desert sun, and the figures blend in quite well with the dusty brown desert, which otherwise is covered only by scattered bushes - there are no trees, and very few cacti. The artwork has in recent years become a major visitor attraction, partly as it is easier to see and approach than the many more hidden natural attractions of the area; all the surroundings are part of Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, whose features include narrow canyons, palm oases, riparian valleys, historic sites, old mines, badlands and springs.

The desert where the sculptures are located may seem to be typical undeveloped public land but it is in fact privately owned, part of the Galleta Meadows Estate, property of the Avery family. The artwork was created by the then owner Dennis Avery (died 2012), via a long-running commission with Richard Breceda, a sculptor from Aguanga. Besides providing a backdrop for the artwork, the land is intended for conservation purposes, though remains open to the public without restrictions, for uses including camping, hiking and horseriding.
