It may be work, it may be play, it may be near, it may be away. So here is the challenge - to shoot and post one photograph a day on this site. These photographs are a kind of diary of things I find interesting. I am also thinking that there will be days when I am unable to shoot, so on those infrequent occasions, I will post a photograph done on another day, but one that still feels important to me. - Ken Spencer

The Centipede
I was out on the east end of Long Island, and drove by a sod farm where I saw this irrigation device. It looked like some kind of centipede or bug coming over the rise of this hill! So I had to stop and have some fun playing with it. I think this is the best shot. It is called "Linear Irrigation" by the way, as opposed to those circular irrigation devices - the work they do can often be seen from high altitude in an aircraft, a bunch of tangent circles looking bright green in a surround of tan earth. You would be interested to know that linear irrigation is so efficient that it can water up to 98% of a field. Aren't you glad you came here today to learn stuff like this?
