…but it’s a pretty [good photo](http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/ejjaniak/detail?.dir=/ace5&.dnm=6c30.jpg&.src=ph). I took this on Good Friday morning at a place about 40 miles from here. I was so startled to see this that I had to stop and photograph it. I’m far from religious, but it’s quite a coincidence.

I’ve hiked to [Mt. Holy Cross](http://www.peakware.com/encyclopedia/peaks/holycross.htm) Some years the cross is more obvious than others.

Not a pilgrimage, just another fun hike in the Rockies for me.

Really pretty picture. Reminded me more of a swan or dragon at first glance though.

See to me it looks like the symbol from _The Blair Witch Project_ if you turn it so the bottom left is the top. Very nice photo by the way.

anyone else see the face of jesus almost directly above the intersection of the cross (in one of the rock formations?

Then again, it could be James Hetfield.

I did, but to me It looked more like Karl Marx, than Jesus.

The face in the moutain right above the intersection of the cross reminds me of a hippie Jack Skellington.  
Iiiiiiit’s EASTER Time!
