SALVATION MOUNTAIN!

In the middle of nowhere, a few hours drive from San Diego in the desert, is a mountain of God, Salvation Mountain. Leonard Knight , the creator of this magnificent work of sculpture and art is a very religious figure. He has devoted years of his life to God, and pays tribute to God through his work.






These are some pictures I took while visiting Salvation Mountain:








This is some of the stuff behind the actual mountain, you could actually walk through parts of the mountain, somewhat like a castle.

It amazes me how, one man's commitment and work, could take him so far. He even showed us an article where his mountain was named a national treasure by the Senate. He was astonished that so many would acknowledge his work. I am truly convinced that anyone has the power to control one's own life and to make the best of it.
