HMB Library to feature exhibit of Coastside roadside memorials

Roadside memorials on the Coastside will be the subject of an exhibit of photographs at Half Moon Bay Library in July. The photographer is Nancy Hansen of El Granada.

During the last couple of years, the subject of roadside memorials to those who have died on Highway 1 or other roads in the Half Moon Bay area have sparked debate on the editorial pages of the Half Moon Bay Review.  This overview photography exhibit shows a ‘snapshot in time’ of many of the memorials and how they show devotion and caring for a lost loved one.  Some are very involved and some are simple gestures.  Some are neglected after they have been erected and some are lovingly cared for with fresh flowers or balloons to mark a holiday or an occasion.
