I've driven through this junction hundreds of times and often wondered what this shot would look like. When I saw snow on the ground I knew that would give extra contrast so I parked up and went up onto a foot bridge to tkae the shot. I could not get a full sequence of the traffic lights in one exposure so this is 4 shots stacked in photoshop.
A cemetery is a sacred place where dead relatives, relatives and friends are buried. It has long been customary to mark their burials with remarkable signs. Christians set up a cross for this. Where did this tradition come from?
What does history say?
Initially, the tomb cross on the grave was the designation of one or more burials. After the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, it acquired a sacred meaning.
Interestingly, in the Roman Empire, death on the cross was considered the most shameful and terrible execution. Such a sentence was given to malicious violators: thieves, murderers and traitors. The criminals died a painful death. They suffered from pain, heat, thirst and annoying insects.
The concept that the body of the deceased is in the earth, and the soul in heaven, appeared in the 5th century. The grave was decorated with a cross depicting the living Christ. After the death of Jesus, a crucifix with a resurrected teacher began to be placed on the cross. In addition, there were a wreath of thorns, blood, etc. Only by the 10th century did Orthodox believers accept the death of Christ and began to portray him as dead.
I personally am far from religion... Epidemics, wars, natural disasters... the funeral business is flourishing... those who buried their relatives and friends understand me.

At the top of Helvellyn there is this Cross Shelter, which has been a welcome sight and in regular use for those who've reached the summit, like we did.
The views on the day weren't great, as you can see.
