Fort Davis, revisited


All that is left of the sheltering cross is a metal rectangle with shards of rotted wood inside.


The three little crosses are still there, one with blue flowers, one with white-going-to-yellow ones, and the third one featuring patriotic themed florals.

In front of the middle cross, a pearly white cherub, wearing a patient expression, holds a dove. Another smaller cherub wears a garland of pink and blue buds.

Though still looming large in my imagination, without the tall cross, the remaining ones are so small as to be nearly invisible.
