I believe that I found these in Egypt, but I am not 100% sure. Some times I get lost looking for cool places and end up in random places!

A place to share pictures taken from above, that reveal interesting views, fascinating places or different angles to places.
I have made a short video describing how I take the pictures that I share, here
This is not a rule! You are welcome to share any aerial picture you feel is worth sharing. I just thought that maybe some of you may need a little help. It's really addictive once you get started!

Not sure what lithium pool look like, but this is called center-pivot irrigation, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Center-pivot_irrigation, and it’s how crops are typically done in the desert where there is no river or canal to pull from. Water is piped from wherever, or drawn up from a well and pumped into the irrigation arm. It’s on wheels and slowly rotates around the point where water is being pumped in. I see these all the time in southern Arizona and California deserts.
You can also see them in Minnesota

Southern Idaho too
They have them pretty much everywhere rain isn't reliable in the summer. There are a bunch on the east coast of the US also.
They likely have them everywhere because it’s a dead simple solution to watering crops. I just live in the desert, so this is where I see them all the time. I figured you wouldn’t need them in place it rained, but it makes sense as different crops have different needs.
