Salvation Mountain

Salvation Mountain is a colorful art installation covering much of a small hill north of Calipatria, California, near Slab City and just a couple of miles from the Salton Sea.
It is made from adobe, straw, and thousands of gallons of paint and was created by Leonard Knight to convey the message that "God Loves Everyone."

Hey Mattias. Hope these will bring back some memories for you.
I try to make at least one trip a year to see Leonard and the Mountain.
