Desert Christ Park
Desert Christ Park overlooks the high desert town of Yucca Valley in S. CA. Here the visitor will find more than forty snow-white statues and images portraying scenes of Christ's life and teachings. Dedicated on Easter Sunday, 1951, check out the interesting history here. This particular sculpture is located high on the hill, and I was thinking of the beautiful sky and Skywatch Friday as I was hiking up the hill to take the photo. I used a couple different texture overlays to make the sky even more dramatic. Hope you like it, and Happy Skywatch Friday!

The birds in flight round the raised arms of the statue add so much wonder to this magically lit scene!
