SANTA ROSA, Calif. (KGO) -- In the North Bay, Paradise Ridge Winery is hosting Burning Man sculptures at its location in Santa Rosa.

They were meant to appear at last year's Burning Man, but COVID-19 canceled the festival.

Now they sit overlooking Paradise Ridge, which, itself, was destroyed by the Tubbs Fire in 2017.

The towering 40-foot-tall artwork is called "Empyrean" and can be seen for miles around.
