A lot of farms around here are irrigated by center-pivot systems and their spindly frames and slow-motion circles are familiar sights. But for some reason, getting to see one in operation right next to the road is a rare thing; when my photographer friends and I saw this one, of course we stopped (after making the traditional u-turn) to get a closer look.

And photographs. We also got photographs.
