Felicity, California



on the I-8 to El Paso





I saw this





so I exited about here





and found myself in








Turns out Felicity, CA has been designated the "Center of the World"




and that foreboding church? An interfaith prayer chapel





Felicity, CA hosts a granite museum. Granite - which can withstand most elements for up to 4,000 years - has been poured in 4 foot high panels where the history of mankind is being inscribed - everything from "And God created the heavens and the earth" and portions of Da Vinci's Sistine Chapel, to the history of French Aviation and the Periodic Table of Elements is being inscribed into these granite panels -










Cormac McCarthy devotees will recognize John Glanton from McCarthy's Blood Meridian






and then you get to the end...How creepy is this





snapped a picture of the Arm of God Sundial pointing at the Pyramid housing the official Center of the World





and I was on my way
