Roadside Memorial


Roadside Memorial

One of the more unfortunate sights on South Africas roads are the number of Roadside Memorials remembering friends and loved ones who perished on that particular road. I pass this particular one every day on my way home from work. It always seems to have fresh flowers around it's base. The other day I decided it was time to get a picture. This was taken with my Nikon F70 with the 28-105D and Fuji Superia 200. I manually exposed for the flowers in the foreground, it was a tricky shot as the sun was directly behind it, fortunately it didn't blow out the background.
