Angel Against Blue Sky
Shroud of Turin
This is the Shroud of Turin exhibit at the Groom Cross. The replica of the shroud is on the wall in the photo above. Before this, I haven't taken photos in there because I'm not convinced of the "real" shroud's authenticity but also due to the fact that's almost the only thing in there.
I did notice an odd reflection when I went in; I was hoping to catch the reflection of the huge cross through the large windows, but instead I got the light coming in through the lovely door into the building.
It's not just the massive cross structure that endears the site to me, nor is it the bronzes that ring the location, some of which stir my emotions as I've never before experienced, but it's the "little things" such as this door that prove to me that this is indeed a labor of love and intended to be the best that the "owners" can make it be.

Click the photo for a larger view and it will be easier to see just how massive is the Groom Cross. The statues surrounding the cross are life-sized and you can gain a better perspective by comparing the people walking around the base.

Get religion, make money!
This is where I usually would say something such as
"My prayers have been answered!"
But...that would be as tasteless as that advert.
(although *some* might say that's never stopped me before...)

The Leaning Tower of Texas
West of Groom, Texas
This tower is just off I-40 and is right alongside one of the last surviving sections of Route 66 in this area. This was an "eyecatcher" for a truckstop which was destroyed in a fire a few years ago.
