Rise, or my version of a "Bloom Where You're Planted" sign.

I went to college in Lubbock, Texas, and if you have every been to this part of the country you know this scene all too well. In the middle of nowhere, on land that doesn't seem to offer much, these massive white wind turbines seem to sprout out of the horizon and into the sky. It just goes to show that you can always make the best of a situation and be useful, even when it seems unlikely.
