Nessy the Lakeness Dragon, a 16-foot-high, 30-foot-long mosaic sea-serpent sculpture by artist Dixie Friend Gay (the same artist behind Corpus Christi's accepted Rusty the Great Heron), installed in a pond at Mueller Park, Austin. Built with handmade tiles designed to evoke barnacles and sea life, inspired by mythological water creatures such as the Loch Ness Monster.
