Godzilla

Well, ok, not Godzilla.....IGUANA

If you thought that the installation at Punta Sur of the Goddess Ixchel was a bit much
what do you think of this?

          again...what is it with having to super-size these structures?

          

the sign says:   Iguana (reptile)

Icon of the region which are the native species most representative of the region and live to reach 15 years.

personally,
I still like the old sign
(which is still there  :)

            way off to the side


and the real thing!
you can barely see that little guy below on the rocks

           I know I have, and can get, some better real iguana pics

so I'll work on that.









but no matter what,
they're going to be overshadowed

by this guy...

I so had liked the way Punta Sur overlook was coming together
with the nice structure...the 'energy' of the easternmost point of Mexico
showcased under this nice sructure with a compass rose or star embedded into the walkway in center

I'm not sure the new installations add anything though    in fact, rather the opposite
so, I just have to lump it together with the 'sculpture garden' things scattered throughout
the natural beauty and awesome landscape which needed no embellishment

As a neighbor and longtime resident here said,
after Wilma they all went down and secretly hoped that category 5 hurricane had swept away the recently installed sculptures....
                         no such luck
