I have an answer to one of your questions. The picture with all the green
circles- you could have been in Nevada or one of the Dakotas. The circles
are huge fields. An irrigation system called a pivot sits in the middle of
the field and is anchored there. It has this arm that goes out I don't
know how far with sprinklers on it that travels around on little tracks in
a circle- like a compass. Only the parts that get hit with water are green
so it makes a green circle. My brother has a ranch in Nevada where he
grows alfalfa and he uses pivots like this.(that's how I know)
I enjoyed your flying story very much even though flying doesn't
bother me at all. I can't identify any of the formations, especially
those green circles. Can't imagine what they are. I really liked your
artwork. You draw even better than I do!
The pictures from the airplane looked really good. The mountain picture looks like it is Mt. Rainier. The green circles are crops with circular irrigation sprinklers. Sorry, but I'm not sure about the river.
Oh those are the alien Crop circles!
