La Brea Bike Adventure, Part 2: Sculptures

We arrived at the back entrance and locked up our bikes. One of the first things you can really see is the relief sculpturing along the top of the Page Museum's upper facade:

Here's a dynamic closeup of that relief sculpturing:

Sculptures, one of the things we were interested in seeing at Expo Park, are all over this park, and range in style from relief, like above, to sentry guards like below, with a pair of fighting saber-toothed tigers:

All the way to the very realistic looking California elephants stuck and dying in the biggest remaining tar-pit:

That's a pretty stark situation. It's terrifying and depressing at the same time, especially because of the family having to watch one of their own dying:

And look how expressive that baby elephant looks:

That sculptor must be a master.

I wanted to separate out the grounds from the sculptures, since there were many pictures. It was after this that we started to really get a sense for the place and it's continued relevance to Angelinos sense of self.
