It was odd enough that I had to drive back and get a picture. Oh, if you are one of my acquaintences from overseas this won't make much sense. A bit of back story.
Wisconsin is "The Dairy State". We love our cows. Especially Holsteins.
In fact their mottled black and white pattern is a sort of unofficial Wisconsin logo. You can find all sorts of Holstein "stuff" out there:
I'm not quite sure what to make of "the Holstein cross". Is it art? It is a coming together of things that the artist felt were important. Cows. Jesus. Her hometown which has been marked as the capitol of the state. It is a rather black and white view of the world; and while we can certainly get along without Illinois it is peculiar to think of Wisconsin as floating freely in an archipeligo where one of the closest adjacent islands is shaped like a heart.
But as art I have seen far worse.
