Salvation Mountain

Salvation Mountain 

Leonard Knight spent over 28 years crafting Salvation Mountain by splotching layer after layer of paint on top of adobe. Leonard originally used concrete but the concrete crumbled several years into the project. Rather than be discouraged, Leonard resolved to "do it with more smarts" and began experimenting with adobe -- a mixture of clay and straw. 

The mountain is an impressive work of folk art that proclaims a message dear to Leonard: God is Love.
