Another radiant moment captured with the sun just about to disappear behind the hills,. The sky's have been terrific here in the evenings but unlike many of you in the northern hemisphere going into spring, we in the southern part of the world are heading into autumn so that will bring a different colour in the coming new season.

Listening to the news about a potential drought facing Alberta, I was reminded of driving home to Ontario last summer and seeing these large sprinkler systems alongside the highway. They appeared to rotate about a wellhead and I imagined used up great quantities of water. Digging a little further in Wikipedia, they are called center pivot irrigation systems and it was interesting to read how they maintain a straight line and adjust water flow for consistency across the radius of the circle.
The outside set of wheels sets the pace for the rotation. The inner sets of wheels are mounted at hubs between two segments and use angle sensors (microswitches) to detect when the bend at the joint exceeds a certain threshold. When the angle is too large, the wheels rotate to keep the segments aligned. Typical periods for a full rotation include three days; while other sources have the outer edge of the structure moving at 2 to 3 m (6.6 to 9.8 ft) per minute, which would equate to 14 to 21 hours for one full rotation of a 400-meter-radius (1⁄4 mi) system.
To achieve uniform application, center pivots require a variable emitter flow rate across the radius of the machine. Since the outer-most spans (or towers) travel farther in a given time period than the innermost spans, nozzle sizes are smallest at the inner spans and increase with distance from the pivot point. Aerial views show fields of circles created by tracings of quarter-mile or half-mile (400 or 800 m) radial irrigation pipes, which consume up to several thousands of gallons per minute.
If you're still with me after reading all that, the image itself was captured in harsh sunlight, which I tried to use to my advantage to better see the spray of water.

Une compo pas courante, mais j'ai voulu essayer de couper l'image en 2 parties égales avec 2 élements principaux, et la pierre pour lier les 2.

Trying to play catch-up with ODC at the moment. It's Tax-Time for me at the moment! I'm so happy I could dance all night!!!!! Big fat pain in the As*

This is the classic case of being in the wrong spot at the right time..... We were at some friends house for dinner in La Center, WA and I could see the clouds starting to build and I figured the sunset was gonna be good, but I had no idea it was gonna be this good....I decided to take off for the Wetlands near the edge of town and see if I could get a good shot of Mount Hood..well the mountain is much better seen from the road which is higher up. I ran up and down this gravel road/walkway as the sky just went off with some of the best color I have seen this year.....I tried to get down near the water but the sticker bushes wouldn't let me....I was wearing shorts and tee shirt.... so this was the best comp I could come up with.....
What I really liked about this was the way the cloud seems to be opening up....
And I am wondering if it would be better to crop out that branch on the left side....Thanks!!!!
Happy Hump Day!!!
