Salvation Mountain, with Moon Rising

This mountain was built by Leonard Knight to convey his message of God is Love. The mountain is about 3 miles east of Niland, CA in the Imperial Valley. The mountain also serves as the gateway to Slab City, a community of squatters in the Imperial Valley desert, at the base of the Chocolate Mountains.

 

Leonard has been building and painting the mountain for 30 years out of acrylic paint, adobe and straw.
