I’m an aisle seater by nature, but a tighter availability of flights means I am getting the window and middle seat, and thus a closer look at what’s down below. Passing over the panhandle of northern Texas (or perhaps more accurately the Oklahoma pan-drippings) one gets an interesting display of quilted farmland artwork. Stylized overlapping rectangles for a while, and then a patchwork of circular shapes contained within squares. Endless circles and semicircles and Pac-Men and pie charts, generated by a massive circular irrigation technique. The whole thing fascinated me and I made a feeble attempt at photographing them (the photo hardly turned out) — and then I looked them up on the internet. Here’s some information, albeit by someone in Eugene OR.
