Blemish
Father Crowley Overlook, Rt. 190 California February 2007

As you drive west out of Death Valley National Park, you drive by the Father Crowley Overlook. I notice what looks like a bullet scar on the plaque commemorating Father Crowley which caused me to think, "One man's saint might be another demon."

This just looks....painful!

The bullet was probably fired at the sculpture by a drunk or a fool (or both) who cared little about what he or she ruined. To me, your image is more a ringing condemnation of ignorance and stupidity, than it is a comment on religious bigotry.
