It was a beautiful clear morning and I decided to take the 100-400 out for a spin. Paul and Donny were swathing the tall fescue across the road, so I went over there and got up on top of an irrigation box to snap a few. This picture is interesting because behind the swather you can see a wood chip mill that is several miles away. The distance compression is pretty neat. I have to also comment that the image stabilization of this lens is very good.
Agent Listorama - if you would like some additonal map orientation practice, I am standing directly across the road from the farm house, aiming approximately WNW. The gliderport would be approximately 20 degrees to the right of this bearing. You should be able to see the irrigation box in the satellite photos. It is a little smaller than BLU WGN.
You got it! Donny, the guy driving the rig, commented that he was embarrassed because you can see a few Canadian Thistles behind the rig. Actually, Paul and Donny have about the best tall fescue in these parts. BTW, the swather is about a quarter mile away.
I spotted a white box across the road from the farm, in a small curve in a farming road. Based on what Google Earth tells me, the mill must be that place on NW Vadis Road, but its bearing looks more like NW than WNW. It's about two miles distant per the scale in Google Earth, so your lens is really pulling it in!
