Imagine there's no heaven

Strasen Lane near Marine, Illinois

Most of my pictures are unplanned. Those of you who know me well probably won't find that surprising. Usually I have an idea of where I want to go to take pictures, but that's about the extent of it. In this case I decided, "I'm going to take pictures of that big cloud." So I followed the cloud at sunset to Strasen Lane. When I took a photo of this sign and graffiti, I didn't plan on making a symbolic photo about life being a dead end, or the possibility that there is no heaven. But I can see how you might think that's what this picture is about. Instead, the sign was just in front of the cloud.
