Leonard's Bed, Niland, California - by Steve Eiden

For the past 24 years, Leonard Knight has been living alone in the desert of Niland, California, a few miles from the shores of the Salton Sea, working ceaselessly on a giant monument to God known as Salvation Mountain. During the five coldest months of the year, he sleeps in the back of an old broken down flatbed truck, walled with garden lattice and covered in tarpaulin. The other seven months of the year, he sleeps in this bed. The canopy was assembled over time by visitors who came to see Leonard and help him build his mountain.
