A portion of The Last Supper sculpture by Albert Szukalski. It is located in the ghost town of Rhyolite, Nevada. The sculpture is part of the Goldwell Open Air Museum. Szukalski used plaster-soaked burlap draped over live models to create the sculpture.

One of my favorite shots from the Mesquite Dunes at Stovepipe Wells, Death Valley. Taken with a 12-24mm wide-angle lens. I’m reminded to use the wide-angle more often. January 16, 2009.
