Hill of Crosses

Sep. 26, 2016  Hill of Crosses in Lafayette, California, in memory of those killed in Iraq and Afghanistan.

In Nov., 2006, anti-war activists Jeff Heaton began placing crosses on hill overlooking the Lafayette BART station. About 5,000 crosses dot the hill - ran out of space in 2011. A sign keeps the current total updated - 7,006.
