Irrigation Field of Frozen Beauty

On a brisk October morning as I was driving to work, I came across this frozen field of beautiful ice crystals on this country field close to my home. In Western Colorado, some of the agriculture is irrigated with these giant irrigation wheels. The last couple of weeks of the season the night temperatures sometimes freeze and result in a fantastic show of ice crystals. I pulled over on the country road and began snapping off photographs into the bright sun afraid it was all going to disappear before I could capture some of the extraordinary beauty. I was able to grab some wonderful scenery before it melted. If you'd like to see the whole set, check them out on my flickr page.
