GALLERY: The monuments of Bruce Bay

For one kilometre on a barren stretch of the New Zealand West Coast, a passing driver can live the sorrows, the excitement, the caprice of past travelers.

Mostly they are pebbles scribbled on with a Sharpie. Others are driftwood branches set upright, towering rock piles, or a simple national flag.

All express a sentiment: I’ve been here. I miss my dead lover. I love my country.

They’re there for no reason, other than just being there.
