painting in the snow

As I walked this afternoon I wandered onto the grounds of the Phillips Andover Academy. I was following paths through the snow when I turned my head and saw a splash of unexpected color.

At first I was sure I was seeing things. I turned to walk closer and found a painting of sorts, placed in a field, standing. It's an image of a trail through the woods, a trail painted with the words "They walked here - not anymore".
