These detours — are they placed before us to slow us down? Perhaps they’re put there on purpose so we’ll be forced to see other things. Often times it’s the road less traveled which leads us to our most cherished memories.
The white chimney stands stark amid the ruins of the charred cabin walls. A monument to the loss . . . . or maybe it’s the starting point of a new mysterious future. I stumbled upon this scene as my planned route was detoured because of road construction. On a backroad in West Virginia this image presented itself. “The Detour” allowed me to capture this scene I would have other wise missed. ©
