By the road stood a solitary red mailbox, for the inhabitants of Uig, these four houses, to communicate with the world beyond.

For months, the road, one of the most violent in all the world, stood as an emblem of the chaos that the Americans could not control.

The road stood about a span above the water, built of massive blocks of white stone.

The road led through pine forest, steep hillsides, and there was standing water anyplace level.

Just down the road, what's more, stands one of the wonders of the world.

A road named Blyton Close stands in the approximate location of the house.

A step or two down the hot road stood the gendarmerie.

Another city water official said the road had stood solidly for 125 years but could not withstand such a massive blast of water.

On the road stood a huge boulder, like a marker on a page.

A little farther up the road stood an Iraqi tank, not surrendering, with its barrel pointed in a menacing way.
