Dinosaur [gone]
Mount Angel, OR
This Dinosaur statue was installed at a roadside fruit stand. There was no identification but it appeared to be from the 1950s or 1960s. It might have been created by Ernie Nelson. The statue burned down in 2002. [photo thanks Steve Sabatka]

Nessie is the nickname for this statue representing the Yaquina Bay Sea Monster that was caught in 1992. The 20-foot-long statue is on display at Aquarium Village, a complex of retail shops.
