Interesting perspective on the "3-D" cross. Reminds me of Picasso, trying to show one thing from many angles at the same time...:-)

This is carved? At first glance it seemed to me to be written in pencil. It made me wonder how graphite would have withstood the elements. Then I saw that it was actually CARVED into the plaster, and I was like, "Oh. I so sad. I was wrong."

Yes, I did mean to write "I so sad". I dunno why.

Interesting reaction, Dylan. When I first saw it, I had a very strong sense of pity, a sort of melancholy. Who were they, what is their connection? Did they make it out?

In any case, nice find, better picture.

I believe this one was carved, while some of the other marks look like they had been drawn in pencil.

The way I interpret it, is that these people died there, and it was almost like a white-cross-on-the-side-of-the-road for them

So the carver could remember their friends.

Wow, very nice picture, and this is very creepy.. I think this might have been 7 of whoever's friends who died here maybe?

It's beautiful that someone thought to remember those people. That someone cared enough. Now those people are memorialized in a way not many can be. Beautiful.
