Leonard Knight, folk artist, and his Salvation Mountain at Slab City, Niland, CA
<Photo by Wolf Peter Weber of Leonard Knight as guitarist and singer in front of his Salvation Mountain>

In the picture on the left we
get Leonard Knight as guitarist
and singer. On a good day he would play us a few songs of his own. These days one can listen to the
folk artist
even via the Internet.

As mentioned, Leonard had to be moved to a place in El Cajon, specializing in the treatment of Dementia during Dec. 2011...
Given the fact that he's 80 years
old, it seems unlikely that he could
ever pick up where he left the
desert monument.
One can only hope that he will be able to return now and then
to marvel at what his hands and creative spirit had wrought.

The panorama below depicts the ever changing place the way it
was in the late 1990's from
a different angle of view.
