This picture was one of many that I took up in Holy Land. In photography, we had an assignment to take pictures of our neighborhood. I wanted to show people the parts of Waterbury that not a lot of people see if they are not from here. I went to the barrios and ghettos and took pictures of everyday life. One of the places I stopped though was Holyland. This cross was the original one. I'm glad I got to capture it before they tore it down and replaced it with the one currently there. This cross illuminated. The new one has lights shining onto it. Sadly, this is somewhere I don't ever want to visit again after the murder of Chloe Ottman last year at the base of the new cross, where she was raped and killed. I wish the copies I made of these pics came out better than they did, but I don't have a scanner. I have to take a photo of the original.
