Holy Shit!


So this is a pic I found on the intenet with some additional information.

Our Lady of the Rockies is a 90-foot statue sitting atop the Continental Divide located on the East Ridge of Butte off of I-15. Our Lady of the Rockies is the end result of a dream and six years work. A seemingly impossible task was completed by countless volunteers on December 20, 1985 when ‘Our Lady” was placed on the East Ridge overlooking Butte, Montana.

The statue, lighted and visible at night, is a spectacular sight to see. To give you an idea of the dimensions; Our Lady is 90 feet high, 48 feet wide (from fingertip to fingertip), and weighs 51 tons. The overall statistics are: the head (16 feet high by 10 feet wide), eyes (2 feet), nose (4 feet), nose (4 feet), lips (3 feet), hands (8 feet) fingers (3 1/2 feet to 5 feet), and the base (32 feet by 34 feet).

And I thought Oprah was a whole lotta lovin.
