I think this one wins.

See, I love this one goes because it goes just about as far as you can go in a certain boring direction. The lack of caption is especially nice. What would you say? "A charming country road in -- oh hell, why bother."

Kate: Yeah, like you say!

I bet the Portland antique shop was seriously stoked when you took that baby off their hands. They probably thought they would NEVER sell that one.

There was GOING to be a caption, but the photographer got run OVER before he managed to inscribe the words...

God. "Road with mailbox #2" might be a fitting caption. Or "Mud in Summer, Minnesota."
