A Roadside Monument ::

I've been photographing these sad reminders of loved ones lost to our highways for some time. Usually I have no idea of the circumstances surrounding the loss of life, but this one is different.




This was a terrible accident last New Year's Eve just about 2 miles from where I live. It happened in the early evening and a local teenager was killed. I woke up this morning to the news that a local woman was killed just up the road yesterday while crossing the highway on foot.

As an aside, let me add that I never answer or use my cell phone while driving. I'm amazed at how many people I see who have obviously lost concentration while talking on their phone or, worse, test messaging. Being connected just isn't that important!
