Iowa's Freedom Rock
Loading...
Uploaded by The4SeasMom on Apr 11, 2008
Every year, a talented artist, Ray (Bubba) Sorensen II, has done a Memorial Day tribute to our veterans, with a stirring tableau painted on a large granite boulder which stands next to Highway 25 southwest of Des Moines, Iowa. The huge granite boulder came out of the nearby Schillberg Rock Quarry and it weighs approx. 56 ton and is 12 ft high. Sorensen paints over the previous years mural with white paint and starts with a black canvas. He draws a sketch of his idea on paper and then draws the design by free hand onto the rock. This takes him anywhere from one to three weeks to paint. If you are anywhere close, you shouldn't miss the opportunity to see what is truly an American treasure.

Thank you, Ray! You are a very good artist with great spirit, purpose and dedication.
And thank YOU to this video producer! I have seen some photos of his work before, esp. 2003. But you have chronicled his works over the years, so we may better appreciate his efforts in larger perspective. Well done.

Wonderful. I have a cousin in Penn. She sent me pics of this and I looked for it on UTube and here it is. I am in Canada so the word does get around. Good Job Bubba! I think this is one gorgeous piece of Art.
