I was all set to write about the plans for a transit-tax referendum in the Triangle (stay tuned, I’ll get to that later today) when, upon researching the News & Observer’s stories on transit I found, instead, the story about Raleigh’s Kudzu Jesus.
What can I say? It’s August. We live in Kudzu Country, the South. Here’s a link to the article, and you can check out the photo, by reporter Josh Shaffer, above.
It’s a spot where the kudzu has climbed across a wire. Says reporter Shaffer, “From the rear, he looks like Christ the Redeemer, the 100-foot statue overlooking Rio de Janeiro from a pointed mountaintop.” It’s just off Raleigh’s Boylan Avenue bridge.
Random act of nature? A message from on high? Your call.
