Celebrating Leonard Knight life and his art - "Salvation Mountain"

Leonard the creator of Salvation Mountain located in Ninland, CA died last month at age of 82 in San Diego. I was sorry to hear about his pass.  I had the opportunity to meet him a few years ago. Here is my tribute to him.

Leonard - 2009

Salvation Mountain

"God is Love". A national treasure since 2002 Salvation Mountain is a very interesting folk art art installation created by Leonard Knight as a tribute to God. Located in Niland just a few miles from Salton Sea and Slab City in the desert of Southern California, the mountain was built with straws, adobe, thousand of donated gallons of acrylic paint, donated money and labor. Leonard wants the people to see it  and he  hopes to spread the message of love. It is worth the visit.
