These two headstones sprout up from a small hillside that separates a very busy shopping area from an even busier highway. They have survived to a time and place when thousands of cars daily whiz along very close to the intersection of Interstate 66 and the Capital Beltway, I-495. I myself whiz by every morning on my way in to work. Once before I stopped and read what I could off the markers. I don't usually take this road on the way home, because of the dense traffic, but I ran an errand after work today that made this road the logical choice to take home. I was thinking about my photo for today when I found myself coming up to the intersection.
I especially love the two orbs of light reflected in the buildings across the road. I didn't notice these until I downloaded the pics from my memory card. See the stones closer up
here and
here. I found only one
website that mentions this lovely roadside memorial.
(Post script - The cemetery is documented in multiple places as the
Thompson Family Cemetery.)
