9/23/04 - Remembering

Gaithersburg, MD

I've been passing this scene almost every day for maybe a month, but I either didn't have my camera (OMG!) or I didn't like the light at the time. I assume this was placed by friends of a young person who was killed at this site -- a turn in a narrow, country road (named Game Preserve Road). I felt the b&w better conveyed the sadness of the image.

Other candidates for today:

Excellent, if sad, image. Thanks for posting.

Poignant image; like the b/w as a stark statement. Looks like you had some fun with the others.

Sad.. and you are right.. b&w does convey it better.. I like the placedment of everything in the frame. We have quite a few of these on our roads.. i've been meaning to do a pictoral on them... with stories.
