Of Boars and Brontosaurs . . .

You probably thought until now that the age of dinosaurs ended long ago . . . but on a trip to Arizona in April 2008, on the way to Havasu, this large green behemoth was spotted lumbering across the arid plains at sunset, near the Cavern Inn of Peach Springs, Arizona. . . And after spending two weeks in the United States last year, I can assure you, there is no shortage of living dinosaurs still around today !
.


















At the Cavern Inn's restaurant this neon wild boar adorned a wall. If you read further down in this expanding blog you will find references to Rudi Stern and the company he helped found called "Let There Be Neon". Whoever the artist was that did this piece, I am in admiration of the impression created of a truly savage boar, using just a handful of pieces of neon tubing bent in perfect proportions. . .
