I ride by this sign everyday on my way to and from work and it's always struck me as amusing, in an ironic sort of a way.
Especially given the fact that there is a chuch at this intersection and the State House Dome is in view.
This photo was taken on June 3, 2004 in Concord, New Hampshire, US, using a Nikon E5700.

Very cool shot, and definitely a very ironic intersection.

it's like a biblical sign of how the state and church would get back together to rule as one..... :).....or you could just call me crazy, lol

Can you get the statehouse in the background, by chance??? Wonderful shot. I will be using this in an upcoming talk, with due credit of course.

I'd imagine a lot of accidents at that intersection.

Great visual metaphor, I'm always on the lookout for these cool sign crossing, but have never found one as cool as this. Congrats for finally snapping that photo.

This intersection is only a hop, skip, and a jump away from my home and your photo inspired me:
I also tried Chapel St and N. State St.:
Both not as fantastic as yours. (-:
