Statues of a family of #mastodons watching helplessly while one of their own is trapped in the #LaBrea Tar Pits.
Naturally-occurring asphalt (yes, #LosAngeles had asphalt millennia before it had cars!) seeps out of the ground all over the area. Portable fences keep people from stepping in it. #Prehistoric animals were less fortunate, and a museum houses an incredible array of #IceAge fossils found here.
(Flashback to 2013, can't believe I hadn't posted it here yet.)
@shmibs Thank you! (And now I realize I forgot to tag the OP as #photography ... )
@kelsonv !!! I went to this, I remember being really amused at the morbid choice of sculpture. My LA friend was really proud of it though. It was cool, but I guess I'd just come from LACMA so I was a bit like "why are we looking at tar"
@sajan Did you go to the natural history museum too? There's a fascinating collection of fossils including hundreds of dire wolf skulls found in the area.
@kelsonv unfortunately not! Next time I go i'll have to check it out. The Natural History Museum here is my favourite building in London (partially for the building itself)
