10-foot stained glass mosaic called the 'Surfing Madonna'

CALIFORNIA - A stained glass mosaic is stirring up some controversy. The 10-foot by 10-foot mosaic called the "Surfing Madonna" appeared a few days before Easter on the bridge east of Highway 101 in Encinitas. The Madonna, wearing wetsuit booties, is surfing the face of a wave and appears with the slogan, "Save the Ocean." The mosaic was put up in the middle of the day by mystery men in hardhats near a busy intersection. The installers haven't identified themselves, and it's unclear whether the bridge is owned by the city or North County Transit District. [link]
