Chicago's Salt-Stain Madonna
Traffic stopped in a Chicago's Kennedy Expressway (at Diversey Ave.) underpass after a stain, which many say looks like the Virgin Mary, appeared on a wall.

~I'm in awe of how little inspiration the faithful everywhere(?) require for their devotions. Artists and photographers are working waay too hard, if these images are examples of what people will go out of their way (in Chicago literally 'stop-traffic') to see.
