No, I'm pretty sure it's like a baseball game. Some dude runs out there every so often and chalks the boundaries a mile or so in width so you can see them from space
Because they're always there, haven't you gone to the edge of your county and looked at the lines? My favorites are the ones that run right through man made stuff like streets and farms.
Bro this ain’t the 1800s, we’re obviously using LED light strips for that now. The downside is that a single section goes dark and we lose mapping data for the entire northeast. Totally worth it though when they turn on the strobe effect.
This image also illustrates how artificially brown crop land is. I live in the intermountain west and didn't expect to see that ground color in Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio...
One of the things I definitely do like living in Indiana is all the trees. In L.A., where I lived for a decade, it was mostly palms and conifers, and then Joshua trees further out. And they're not all that attractive to me in comparison. Our house used to be surrounded by giant oaks that it was built around. Unfortunately we lost some in recent storms and others were too sick to not be a danger. We still have, I think, 5 of them left and a persimmon tree. We also have a playground that we're going to dismantle and replace with another tree. Something local that grows relatively rapidly. Maybe a pawpaw? Not sure yet. Terre Haute, where I live, is famous for its sycamores (to the point that it's the ISU sports team is the Sycamores), so that's an option, but they're kind of boring trees IMO.
Same in Colorado where we usually only get Green and Yellow (aspens). This year red is vibrant. I miss that having grown up in Virginia with its gorgeous fall colors.
They're always beautiful here in Indiana, but they sure seem more vibrant this year.
I just hope that's not some sign of something bad. It seems like every time something seems good like this it's because of climate change or something.
