Do you know what I mean by roadside shrines?
I don't mean the religious shrines that you see along the roads in countries like Italy of France.
Probably a better name would be roadside memorials - a marker of some sort placed where a person died suddenly, often related to a car accident.
They often take the form of bunches of flowers or crosses.
This one at the site where the body of a local murdered woman was found is taking things to extremes.
or a novel one like this
gives you a clue to how the young man was killed.

These " memorials" are beginning to be found in ever increasing numbers on the roads I travel along.
Do you have them where you live?

What do you think of them?
I think they are a dangerous distraction and I'm just waiting for the time when someone else is killed when they take their eyes off the road ( they are often on dangerous corners ) to peer at them to see what they are about.
I find them ghoulish in the extreme.
I thought that's what cemetaries were for !!!
Cheers.
PS. I apologise for the quality of a couple of these photo but I found them all on the Internet. They are all local memorials !!!!!!
