Highway Memorials

It is very common in both Central America and South America to see memorials beside the highway where someone was killed. They range from a simple cross to very elaborate ones that are quite large. Most of these pictures were taken from a moving car, but you should be able to get an idea of what went into them. Some of them incorporate part of the landscape such as large rocks or level areas. Most seem to be on highway right-of-way, but the powers that be don’t seem to mind. I think that the further south we get, the less of them we see.
