I just wanted to show people this image that caught my attention of Kansas from outer space. I thought it was interesting to see the tessellation of square patches dotted with round fields and the all the different hues of green and yellow. Check it out. http://digg.com/d315VS9

Thanks, Marshall! As a Kansas lover, this does my heart good--although it surely looks different on the ground. The green circles are caused by irrigation sprinklers, which pivot on a central fixed point, like a geometry compass. Sadly, irrigation like that, especially in western Kansas, is draining the aquifers (ancient ground water). It's an arid region and should never have been farmed. Sigh.
