I saw this last night on 60 min. It reminded me so much of a couple of years
ago... There is a hill behind our house called "Mt. Pishah". It has a hiking
trail to the top, which is heavily used daily. Someone put a "clothes line"
on the very top, following the peak, and hung colorful "sheets" of cloth on
it, so that if we looked up at the top (sort of the horizon to us), there
were yards and yards of colorful bits of cloth flapping in the breeze. I
loved it. Even hiked up to see it up close. I think it was some art students
at the Univ. of Oregon who did it. They must have been inspired by the
Cristos.
