You can just build things...
This was great. And I loved the pics. The place has a Gaudi feel, no? A workingman's Sagrada Familia.
It really does. And I might have made that connection had I taken some time to write this instead of just blurting it out;)
Just after I posted this, I was informed by a friend that Jim Bishop died last year. Yet the work goes on at the castle--just like Sagrada Familia.
The same friend said the locals call it "Redneck Disneyland"😂
That's great--"Redneck Disneyland". Also, I laughed out loud at your line:
"It’s seriously inspirational—and so what if it’s a death-trap…"
I have to make it out there before they tear the place down.
Near Pueblo, Colorado? Darn, I passed that way years ago on a long cross country motorcycle journey and was unaware of this masterpiece. I shall endeavor to make my way out there again one day to visit the Bishop Castle. Thanks for the idea!
Huh wow. What state is this in?
It's in Southern Colorado near the town of Rye.
