The Red Headed Stranger
Absorbing the natural beauty of the surrounding river and cliffs, she rests on the bench, cogitating about the uncertain path ahead. Carved into the bench are two opposing words: “Yes” and “No”.
Photo taken at Starved Rock State Park in Illinois.

Beautiful… especially like the “yes” “no” scratched unto the bench… adds a touch of melancholy to it.
