    I like the open, airy spaces afforded by this shrine. The shadows are a bonus!

    This is a very nice monument - a shrine to the departed, a landmark for the visitors to find their way - with the cross at the center of it all. A thoughtful post!

    A very moving monument, even for an agnostic.
