jok 3,487 Posted June 9, 2025 Report Share Posted June 9, 2025 First noticed this in the eighties flying back from the Middle East. When they grow crops the way of irrigation is a huge loop which we nicknamed Saudi spectacles. In fairness it makes a lot of sense. Jok. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
