Beacon on the Summit

A metal summit cross stands atop a rocky, dry hill under the warm, gentle light of late afternoon. Warmed by golden hues, the dry grass and exposed limestone rocks lead up toward the solitary monument against a pale sky. This minimalist landscape captures the tranquil, spiritual feeling of reaching a peak after a long trek. Have you ever hiked to a summit cross?
