Found Beside The Road

This photograph was taken on December 14, 2007 on the side of one of the local roads which goes over what passes for a mountain in north Alabama. For a couple of years after the road opened people would decorate many of the trees and bushes beside the road for Christmas then, as too often happens, the city decided that this constituted littering and threatened to fine anyone caught putting up the decorations. For the past couple of years a few people would take the chance and decorate some, but this year I only saw a couple of trees that had been decorated. I really enjoyed seeing the festive trees as I drove over the mountain!




This is one of the patriotically decorated trees which I had to hike up the side of the mountain for a bit in order to get the photo.
