Salvation Mountain (3 Miles East of Niland, CA)

Leonard Knight has spent the last 24 years living and working at this sculpture in the California Desert. I’ve always felt the pictures of Salvation Mountain seemed unreal, and that extends to the photos I’ve taken. It takes on a certain depth when exploring it yourself or when Leonard gives you a personal tour. He is overwhelmingly positive and dedicated to his work. I’m sure he couldn’t be happier than for you to visit and for congress to one day declare Salvation Mountain a national monument. More photos on Kate’s blog.

  3. That place is seriously amazing. I didn’t even know it existed until the two of you blogged about it!

    Kate found this one. I’m not sure how, but I’m glad she did. I’m sure there are very few things and people like this in the world, and chances to see them.

  5. this place looks amazing!

    sweet perfection. your pics are fantastic and if you ever get a chance to hit Summerville, Ga you must stop at Paradise Gardens! (unless of course, you already have.) Happy travels!

    Thanks for the heads up. Hopefully we’re visiting Paradise Gardens tomorrow.
