Road Side Crosses

admin — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 01:49:38 +0000

I’m not sure if roadside crosses are prevalent outside of New Mexico. All these pictures are within 10 miles of my House. I’m not sure how I feel about them. I intellectually understand the need to pay respects and remember your family, but when does it cross over to self-torture and continued depression. When do you just stop and go on? I don’t know, but it’s a southwest thing for sure… (assorted last names were intentionally blurred) Addition, I’d be somewhat remiss if I didn’t throw in this link I found with an irreverent view on the subject: http://www.porkjerky.com/rip/

The Sevilleta National Wild Refuge is about 50 miles south of Albuquerque. The river you see is the Rio Grande. You can’t see them, but there are some ducks along the bank.
