Excellent. So your discussion about open space is about something being vast and unknown. I never read TLOTR like that, though. To me, it seemed more like exploration and establishing setting, along with the whole "funny named places and monsters" fantasy thing.
The Forbidden Zone in the Planet of the Apes comes to mind so far as vastness being associated with the unknown, but the most obvious example is outer space. Outer Space is the ultimate vastness and it can simultaneously be used for crushing claustrophobia. That can be fun to play with.
