Creature from Outer Space
OK, I lied. It's not a space alien. But doesn't it sort of look like one...maybe?
Actually, what you see in front of that brilliant sunset is part of an irrigation system that's over vegetable fields in the Holland Marsh - huge fields that provide vegetables such as carrots, lettuce and cabbages to much of Southern Ontario.

I still think it's a space alien.
ReplyDeleteSuch cool alien! :)
ReplyDeleteYes it does look like visitors from outer space. when I see the big irrigations rigs in Eastern Washington they remind me of some giant insect but at this angle----RUN FOR COVER!! MB
ReplyDeleteIt does look a visitor from outer space !!!!
ReplyDeleteTake me to your leader!
ReplyDeleteThe little alien machine makes a great silhouette in that beautiful sunset!
ReplyDeleteGood use of an alien to frame a dramatic sunset!.....:)
ReplyDeleteYes, it definitely looks like an alien. Gorgeous rich colours in that sky!
ReplyDeleteLovely sunset picture. I think that is probably the alien that makes the cornfield circles!
ReplyDeleteNicely captured!
ReplyDeleteHappy Sky Watch Friday!
Don't pay any attention to B Squared. I mean, really, a "space alien"? Sheesh. Everyone knows it's a Florida cracker.
ReplyDeleteI love the photo, though. We have those things, too, just down the road from Stone Creek. Don't know what's growing, though.
And you're right about some Americans and god.
We've got a whole bunch of nutcases who are called Dominionists and are working hard to take over the government and institute Old Testament law - such as executing gays. I'm absolutely serious. These consist of many different fundamentalist Christian groups, but the core are the Pentecostals...and they're moving to do this, not only in the U.S., but in other countries also.
Sarah Palin, by the way, is a dominionist.
They're crazy. Sharon Angle, one of that crowd, running for the U.S. Senate in Nevada has recently said in a radio interview that entitlement programs (Social Security and Medicare, etc) are idolatrous because they violate the first commandment by making the government God.
Our US Congress is already full of these wackos as are many of our state legislatures.
It's very scary!
After the first thought of oh, how beautiful...I thought alien. But this is so very beautiful...
ReplyDeleteYou have some nice shots of something.
ReplyDeleteHey,Hubby and I visited Canada recently and I'm posting pics all this coming week on my blog. Today I did Chateau Frontenac in Quebec City.
You Canadiens really know how to do pomp and circumstance when changing the guard. We watched this in Ottawa, Montreal and Quebec City. so beautiful.
Beautiful sky photo, stunning colors
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend, Bram
seen on Sky Watch Friday
Great picture. It reminds us that sun plus water equal food! Our farmers here in Arizona use those weird watering devices also.
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful shy. We call those "aliens" pivots. There is a lot of technology in the one's that travel in a circle, because the gearing on the inner and outer wheels have to be well synchronised, otherwise they get "confused". Maybe they are aliens after all.
ReplyDeleteA very nice conversation photo! You cause a stir up of this space invader!
ReplyDeleteP.S. Twylah is good as new now. But I am just to exhausted and will not be blogging for a while.
Thanks for your concern.
The contraption does make an intriguing silhouette against that beautiful sky.
ReplyDeleteI think it is a wonderful mean to measure time and life. Great picture indeed. Please have a good Friday.

ReplyDeleteThis one is beautiful! Like it!

Ah, this is something new to me. Never seen like this before EG.
ReplyDeleteWe have some of those in central KY as well. They do look pretty strange.
ReplyDeleteA great way to frame a spectacular sunset.
ReplyDeleteI like the "take me to your leader" interpretation, but regardless, it makes a great photo.
ReplyDeleteAt first I thought it's a fallen Ferris Wheel hee hee, nice golden sunset.
ReplyDeletelol, somebodies been watching too many movies....and yes it could very well be a scene in the movies (i've yet to see what an alien REALLY does look like :))
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Sunset! Very impressive alien gardener!
ReplyDelete~Maria

On the other hand it looks a little like the biggest grasshopper that ever lived. The sky (sigh) is breathtaking.
ReplyDeletewow so different machine! And I love the orange sky, well done!
ReplyDeleteLéia
Looks like an enormous insect! Beautiful pic, lovely colors :)

ReplyDeleteIt looks like a giant insect to me.
ReplyDeleteDarla
Got yourself a popular one here, EG. For good reason. Perfect - and fun - shot.
ReplyDelete(Reading Jacob, with whom I agree, I'm just happy I'm not an American. I'd be getting scared too. Many of my American friends have threatened to move to Canada...)
that sunset was amazing....
ReplyDeletei thought that the metal looked like a huge robotic spider :)
