This cross is located at Groom, TX. Very inspiring and you can see it for miles. You can read a little about it at the following URL.

Google cross at Groom TX for more info.

I stopped here in 2009 for a little rest during my travels. It just so happened to be almost perfect conditions for a good photo shot. This is one of my favorite all time pictures. I have given this picture for gifts to various friends and a few tears have been shed. It prints very nicely up to 16x20.

As it would be if it were mine, it looks surreal. :thumbup:

The cross I bear doens'nt seem so big anymore. Wow that's huge. The colors in the photo are quite vivid. It does make it look surreal.
Thanks for posting.

Wow, what a great photo. I saw this exact cross on a trip out west along I-40. Tried to take shots of it as we passed by but my photos are nothing compared to this magnificent photo. Wished I would have stopped now. The story linked say's it is 140 feet tall. There is another large cross near Cookeville Tennessee (also on I-40) almost exactly like this but just a tad smaller at 110 feet tall. Folks near there are battling to save it from being torn down.
