Description
Designed and built by Gabriel Macotela, a distinguished contemporary sculptor, the Macotela Cross sculpture is a landmark of the Puerto Los Cabos marina area in San Jose del Cabo, Mexico.
The controversial cross can be seen from throughout the city, and is alleged to honor the missionary history of the land and signify stepping forward into the future, yet locals sometimes refer to the developer placement of the cross as a canine marking its territory. Where once there was an estuary, there is now a marina and profit center. So you, dear viewer, can decide if this cross is a symbol of Christ, pride, prejudice, progress, ego, greed, ecological destruction or religion.

Very awesome photo of this thought-provoking Cross sculpture...I think as long as it brings attention to my precious Lord and Savior, I'm happy. :-) The sharp angles creatively interspersed remind me of the great suffering that Jesus endured for the world. What a great image, Barbie. Wow. F/L
