Where good things grow This image from the Korea Multi-purpose Satellite (KOMPSAT-2) captures many agricultural crops can be seen growing including wheat, barley, fruits and vegetables. The circular shape of many of the fields indicates central-pivot irrigation is being employed; a well drilled in the centre of each circle supplies water to a rotating series of sprinklers. The black zigzag pattern in the bottom right represents thick, lush trees. • High-Res Image: 1969×2071 px (1.90 MB) • Source: ESA (via  unknownskywalker)
