Chess, that was lots of fun! I've always wanted to go on a hot air balloon ride, and your pictures are probably as close as I'll come (I get all kinds of motion sick, which makes me reluctant to even try.) Thanks for the chance to tag along.
(Oh, btw, if you're interested, your comment about logic & the corners of the fields reminded me of Georg Gerster's marvelous arial pictures of the Palouse region of Washington State and Idaho -- he calls Palouse "the Louvre of farmlands," and seeing his photos of the fields, I can believe it. But there's not a right angle in the place. There was a whole section of his photographs in The Most Beautiful Place in the World, but the book is out of print. I think I'll go write about contour plowing now.)
