Love this one. I don't think it feels bleak (although I am attracted to a 
lot of bleak images). I'd describe it as "sparse" or "spare". Coming from NW 
Ohio/SE Michigan, this sparse rural landscape is commonplace, and the 
sentiment is very commonplace as well. It captures the unintended irony of 
religion/nationalism endemic to our region. This image for me is a great 
portrait of rural midwestern US culture. 

Thanks for showing this, Chris!
