We see them all the time. Those roadside memorial markers left by family and friends to mark the place where a loved one has died.

These markers are seen all over the world.
There seems to be a fundamental human need to place some sort of remembrance, some sort of celebration, some sort of point of gathering, at the actual location where the death occurred.

The last accessible waypoint for the living.

Some of these places are fresh and raw and crowded with memorabilia and flowers and photos. Some are simple affairs that are easily missed.
Some are old and fading and not-quite-reclaimed by the world.

For this photo project, I am going to document some of the memorials in my local area. Once you start paying attention, it is pretty shocking just how many there are.

So. I will post a few pictures through this week, and if the feedback is that you find these photos engaging in some way I could continue out beyond that.

Sometimes I will have a little bit to say about the site. Other times the picture will speak for itself.
