Sprinklerasaurus – or, système d’irrigation à déplacement latéral

The summer drought it in full swing and as you drive across Alsace you see these huge devices everywhere. They are not called sprinklers but rather lateral irrigation systems. I’ve long been interested in finding the best way to capture these, photographically, and personally I think it’s one of the harder subjects to shoot. They are not always found close to the road and in a position that makes a good composition — the light is not always ideal — but I am quite happy with the results of this snap!
