释义 |
Bible Land was a free roadside attraction, originally located in Temecula, California, and later moved to Calimesa, California along Interstate 10. Built in Temecula during the late 1960s by sand sculptor Ted Conibear, the attraction featured sand sculptures of various scenes primarily of the New Testament, including a life-sized rendition of the Last Supper. Conibear, who traveled the American Southwest as an itinerant artist and sculptor, maintained the attraction until his death in 1994. His son Don could not find anyone to maintain the site, so he chose to have it destroyed in order to keep it from being defaced by vandals. The site, a short distance east of the Live Oak Canyon Road exit along the northern shoulder of Interstate 10, remains empty and undeveloped. References
