Descanso on Hwy 120

Descanso from the Spanish word for "resting". Also known as crucitas or memorias.

A roadside memorial marking the place of someone's death. Often seen on the rural highway's of New Mexico. It's a public marker to someone's private grief.

I pass this every day on my way to work. Recently it had fallen over and I stopped to right it. It somehow feels personal now.
