Plastic Jesus: religious signs, symbols and refuges on the road

Wow, how tall is that cross?

It is the memorial park for Pope John Paul II - the Polish Pope - in Poznan (Poland). They have a great adoration for him and all memorials are quite extravagant. This picture is from 2011 - those trees are much bigger now. I will try to scan a more recent photo.
 
A lot of this stuff is hilarious. Unless, of course, you're queer. Or a woman. Or not a Christian. Etc. Then it starts getting real scary.
 
I admire the images -- they are Indeed evocative of the spirit of much of America. And I find them personally repugnant.
