Jesus, On the Road

If you're driving cross-country, you can take Interstate 40. Along the way, you'll see many crosses and other homages to Christianity and Jesus in particular.

Trapped in Time

For whatever reason, almost in every city I've been to, there is at least one area where there are several blocks of abandoned buildings and store fronts that still have their merchandise in the window. Usually they are in the low-income neighborhoods which doesn't do much good for its residents. Some store fronts even have the signs still up for a sale that's long been over, leaving behind what can perhaps best be described as a retail time capsule.

The Ghost of Ads Past

In many parts of the United States, there are older buildings, often brick, that still have ads painted on one side. The paint is usually faded by now so what I liked about this ad in particular is that the paint is well-preserved.

America, Divided

The weekend marking the fourth anniversary of the Iraq war, thousands marched from the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., across the Potomac River and to the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia. Or at least the fenced in parking lot across the freeway from the Pentagon.

This protest created more controversy than the usual anti-war demonstration because the route of this one took marchers past the Arlington National Cemetery where American servicemembers are buried. Veterans and others found that offensive... and made it clear. This photo was taken in front of the cemetery.
