Zippyt finds this at a blog called pink tentacle. So you know what HE surfs for.

We'll have no claims of Photoshopping here, this stuff is real. The second and third photos here are the same location, but in previous years.

If I didn't know any better, I'd think I'd been at the rice wine - that's amazing!

Then again, although very cool it's a lot tougher to view than Diamond Vision.

what amazes me most about this, is that the final result of this effort cannot be seen from the ground, a high viewpoint is needed, isn't it?

Wow! The contrast is amazing. Neat stuff.

That's called a "vanity google". He just checking out how popular he is "out there".

Hey, couldn't you have waited until I finished my water? Now I have to explain to the boss why I sprayed him while laughing hysterically!

Reminds me of the work of the Midwest's own Stan Herd, although with typically Eastern obsessive attention to detail as opposed to Stan's plow it up methodology.

Tons cooler than crop circles. Them Japs must get a cooler class of aliens stopping by.

well done zippyt! You are WAY cool (but then I've always known that!).

This one is called, "A Giant Wasp With a Holy Flyswatter, an Octopus with a Stethoscope & Backwards Baseball Cap, and Two Apples, Fights a Ninja With a Short Sword, an Apple and a Rectangular Shield With Sponsors Names Like NASCAR."

So I occasionally tend to fixate on small, unimportant details.

Such as, in this case, the fact that in the two (chronologically) earlier photos, there is a line of telephone poles running along the road that bisects the field. Yet in this year's photo, the telephone poles are gone.


Hmmm...

I heard they're makin' a movie based on that.

The pictures in the link cover several years in several locations.

BZZZZZZZZZZTT WRONG! Please sit down.

They are still there... This year's picture is just more on this end of the field... And the poles for some bazaar reason start half way down the field. I think they're street lights.
