The lone cross is spooky. It's almost like seeing the crosses they put on the guard rails of the interstates where someone has died. #10193196Dr Silly June 21, 2012

The light is lovely, Mike, and so is the simplicity of the cross marking this quiet final resting place. Very nice. #10194204Michael Umbreit June 21, 2012
