Virgin a Day ~ Day 5


This amazing statue is 40 feet tall.  She stands beside the highway in Pine Bluffs, Wyoming.  Before my dad, and then my aunt passed away, we would see Her every time we went home to visit.  We don't travel that way much anymore, bittersweet memories still linger.  

I imagine the site has changed since then.  This particular photo was taken in 2004.  You can read about the shrine here.

Don't forget to visit recuerda mi corazon to see today's other posts.

  8. She reminds me very much of the statue of Christ of the Andes, so tall and able to stand high and watch over all of her children to make sure that no one is lost.
