This is the last of my irrigation series...for now!
I caught the sun setting just out my
back door...
I thought I might give a little info also...
This system is 10 towers long,
and waters about 160 acres in a circle.
The amount of water that flows through
this is about 600 to 800 gallons per minute. Some systems pump more than that.
It is approx. 1/4 mile long. We have two irrigated fields that are side by side which is called a half section.
The little light on the top of the tower
comes on when the system is moving.
It can take up to a day and a half..I'm guessing to make a full circle.
Thanks Mel for the title!!! ;o)
HAVE A GLORIOUS DAY!!!!!

Wow, what a fabulous image, Jeana!! You caught it at the perfect time, and Mel came up with a terrific title for it. Fascinating details on it, too. Do you have a farm? I love learning about what my BP friends do. #6295248Jeana Clark August 10, 2008
Colleen...yes we do farm. We have approx. 3000 acres in which we raise mostly wheat...although we also grow corn, sorghum (milo) and soybeans.
Currently under this irrigation system we are growing soybeans that will be harvested this fall.
Again...Thank You Everyone!!! Your continued support means alot!!!

Reminds me of the wheat field in central Washington State. The simplicity and color of this image is outstanding. And your POV perfect. Lovely composition. #8676648Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
