Welcome to the giant religious icon world tour, the first (of perhaps a few) thematic series. Below are a number of photos I've taken (well, my mom took one, and I think Amy another). You'll notice that most of them are of Catholic images. Now I'm not particularly pro- or anti-Catholic, I just seem to always end up in Catholic countries, and there are always plenty of giant Jesus statues to go around. Above is the giantest of them all, the Christ of Cochabamba, which is mere inches taller than the one in Rio. Or Sao Paolo, I don't remember. Anyways, this one makes a number of appearances below, which is perhaps only fitting for its enormousness.Monday, July 10, 2006
GIANT RELIGIOUS ICON WORLD TOUR
Welcome to the giant religious icon world tour, the first (of perhaps a few) thematic series. Below are a number of photos I've taken (well, my mom took one, and I think Amy another). You'll notice that most of them are of Catholic images. Now I'm not particularly pro- or anti-Catholic, I just seem to always end up in Catholic countries, and there are always plenty of giant Jesus statues to go around. Above is the giantest of them all, the Christ of Cochabamba, which is mere inches taller than the one in Rio. Or Sao Paolo, I don't remember. Anyways, this one makes a number of appearances below, which is perhaps only fitting for its enormousness.
If the man's head weren't in the way, you would be able to see a sacred cow. Don't blame me for the photography here, my mom took the picture.[Pune, India, Summer 2005]
There are two Jesuses and a Pope in Tarija, and this is my favorite because he looks like he's about to take off. This is definitely the holiest city I have seen.[Tarija, Bolivia, Winter 2006]
