i imagine one could come up with somekind of symbolic significances about this view, but i mainly tried to produce a good shot on roadsigns i guess
the bright colours come from an extended fill-in flash on the reflector-like surface of the Andreas-cross (not sure if that is a common name)
might be an interesting detail the clouds are exactly 50 ( at least the way i count them)
i did my lightmetering on the clouds for the best results in this part and used the fill-in flash for the object being the cross and it gives a nice contrast like this i think
my first title for this was 'American/Dutch Connection' for we have the same colours in our flag but a friend of mine came up with this one and i really liked it much more in the end (we're both huge fans of Neil Young since we can remember maybe that explains)

I think that perhaps the fill flash is a little overdone, but there is a nice contrast between the simplicity of the lines of the sign and the complexity of the clouds. I'm not sure about cropping the bottom left of the sign, though.
As a pure graphic this is one of the best in the challenge, I wish you hadn't squeezed the sign so much that the arms ran off the page, but the forms and colors are very strong.
