The incredible Salvation Mountain, southern California. Salvation Mountain is the labour of love of Leonard Knight, and stands as his tribute to God, and to the notion that “God is Love”.

“Leonard’s passion has lovingly created this brilliant “outsider art ” masterpiece resplendent with not only biblical and religious scripture such as the Lord’s Prayer, John 3:16, and the Sinner’s Prayer, but also including flowers, trees, waterfalls, suns, bluebirds, and many other fascinating and colorful objects. Salvation Mountain must be seen to be fully appreciated as those who have made the journey will attest. Its 50 foot height and 150 foot breadth is made totally of local adobe clay and donated paint and is truly unique in the United States and probably the world. From its Sea of Galilee at the bottom, to the big red heart in the middle, to the cross at the very top, the reoccurring theme of “Love” is everywhere at Salvation Mountain.”

It absorbs paint really fast too so the guy who made it has to keep adding more.

Prior to the mountain Leonard Knight attempted to make a patchwork hot air balloon that said “God is Love” on it. (It never flew)
