Cowboy at the Cross

If you look closely at the decor hanging from this arch you can see a cowboy kneeling at the cross. Across the arch is printed "Praise the Lord - July 21, 2001". You see, the cowboy that lives here received a heart transplant on that day, and he is still alive and well. I believe all that kneel at the cross can receive a new "heart" and life. My husband and I were driving this evening and I was snapping pictures of the sunset. At 70 miles per hour I accidentally framed this one. I was looking for a cross or something meaningful for Good Friday, and I think I got the shot I was looking for.

A unique situation well shot and the one for today! I can see a donkey tied up on the other side but can't pick out the cowboy! fav

@maggiemae I want you to see it, so look at the heart shape hanging from the point of the arch. In that heart is the cowboy at the cross. This is a "seek-and-find" picture, huh?! :)

[Rosie Kerr]

OK, so now I see the cowboy at the cross in the silhouette. What a lovely photo, especially for today. The scene and colors are a blessing. Fav.

[Mona]

This is an amazing picture, with a profound meaning. Thanks for sharing.

[Peter Van Dalen]

A great shot

[Anita Campbell]

You surely did. This is glorious. A lovely tribute to his heart transplant's great success. Good for him.

[Kerry Freeman]

Simply beautiful - the image and the sentiment.

[John Lynn]

Well done!

Sometimes you are just meant to come across things - your accidental capture is wonderful

Beautiful, powerful image and so appropriate for Good Friday.

[Katie]

Golly but if ever there was a need for a double Fav, this is it. Brought tears to my eyes. Love it, as Jacqueline has said, powerful, appropriate. As Carol says - fateful? Certainly amazing and definately a Fav.

[Kathleen Hinkaty]

Wow! Great shot and wonderful story behind the shot. Fav

[Jim Fitzroy]

Very nice.

[Denise (lyndemc)]

It's a perfect picture for Good Friday's photo share. Love the colors in the sky and the story behind the cowboy who lives down this lane.

Happy Easter Celebration to you and your family.

[Shirley]

That's worth framing. It's excellent and such a lovely story to go with it. Happy Easter and a fav from me.
