Melewi has question about imagery on rooftop

Comments re photo 44560 Scenic Adair County KY The fairy tale cycle in the sky

I made the picture larger to 400% there is something on the first dormer with a white cross behind it or on it also. - Melewi
Interesting question: Roadside and public art, including the special genius of Ernie Curry, has always been controversial, but your question is part of what I find to be intriguing about it: Wondering what the symbolism is.



A number of people - those with bona fide art appreciation credentials - as well as a number of sterile neatniks, didn't even appreciate seeing the Lincoln Town car on a roof! Glad you're showing proper interest. As for the item on the roof I think you speak of, I thought it was a spiritual symbol: Maybe a television montana made to emulate a cross - sometimes sculptors have the same impish humor as do architects, who are having a great laugh about what serious critics see in their works. -EW
