| Heading towards the Canyon...We are now at 38,000 feet. 5,280 feet to a mile, so we are about 5-6 miles high... |
 |
| Testing close up on little camera...an oasis in the middle of the desert. |
 |
| Some weird mountain ranges from 5-6 miles high... |
 |
| I was told this is the Colorado River... |
 |
| It looks like a moonscape from so far up! |
 |
| That's snow on them thar hills... |
 |
| Now we are flying over snow covered mountains... |
 |
| Absolutely beautiful... |
 |
| Breathtaking... |
 |
| Testing the close up again... |
 |
| Just an amazing landscape... |
 |
| Heading over Nebraska the pilot said... |
 |
| The long shot shows the haze getting thicker as evening approaches... |
 |
| Now, that is spooky. Looks like an alien code... |
 |
| Now this begins to look really alien...Looks like a beautiful slate floor! |
 |
| Amazing! |
 |
| Fields of... |
 |
| Massive sized fields of crops... |
 |
| Snow has fallen early... |
 |
| Now it's getting really eerie...Circles and rectangles... |
 |
| More circles... |
 |
| How large are these circles? |
 |
| Never ending... |
 |
| Hundreds of miles of them... |
 |
| Some even climb uphill into the mountains... |
 |
| You can see some weird shaped spines on the mountains now... |
 |
| Check them out! Looks like fish spine bones to me... |
 |
| A very spiritual flight for sure... |

| Arriving Chicago O'Hare airport.. |
The rest of this bizarre story continues on the next page as I didn't want to break the magic of this amazing set of pictures.
Perhaps I can disspell any notions about those circles you seen.
ReplyDeleteFarmers will drill a water well in the middle of a field. They will connect a long line of pipes to it, which are on large wheels. These pipes have sprinkler heads on them. The wheels are connected to the water flow through the pipes, so once he turns the water on, the long line of sprinkler pipes will begin to slowly move...in a large circle around the well. And thus, crops growing in circular areas. Easy to harvest, too, just drive around in a big circle which gets smaller and smaller every time you go around it. :)
