Having a job as a photographer I sometimes get to go to places I normally wouldn’t go to if I didn’t have a camera swinging around my neck. Today was was one of those times. I was working on a story about Lakeside Dairy, which is the first dairy in the Hanford area to use solar energy help power its operations. While there, I took the usual photographs of the owner beside the solar arrays.

During the course of the picture taking he mentioned that a good way to get the four acres of solar panels into the picture would be to climb one of the silage piles. I’ve climbed a lot of things in my career in order to get a better angle for a picture but a huge pile of feed for cows was a first. The mounds were covered by tarp tied down with the help of old tire sidewalls. See this repetition of circles, i knew I had an iPhone picture.
