I ended up walking through the construction site. There were workers there, but no one said a word as I passed by. I got a decent closeup shot of those mysterious giant crosses that appear on some mountainsides. Still not sure what they're for. Do my readers know?
I believe (but may be incorrect) that the crosses are there to prevent erosion of the hillside, as they are usually placed on slopes that have been artificially cut into mountains or hills.

Interesting. But you'd think it'd be easier and cheaper just to plant a bunch of trees and bushes with deep-growing roots.
DeleteI'm with Charles. To my limited understanding, bolstered by Wikipedia, the crosses are merely what's visible with cables and anchors deep in the rock.

Further, the crosses remind God that locals want his attention there so that also helps.
