Views from the Flying Carpet Fine Art Print series

As amazing as viewing the work of nature from the air, is surveying the veneer of civilization applied by humankind to the land.

“Texas Irrigation Circles” was photographed from the Flying Carpet over the Texas Panhandle near Dalhart, on a long journey home from South Carolina to Arizona. (For those who aren’t familiar, such irrigation systems draw water from a source in the middle of each agricultural field, and distributed it to crops through a large pipe that rotates slowly around the field on wheels. They’re common in dryer climates like the western Great Plains.)

Read the story in Greg’s December, 2009 Flying Carpet column, “The Longest Day,” where this image first appeared.

Like each of Greg’s “View from the Flying Carpet” images, this photograph was collaboratively tuned for print with Master Printer Richard Jackson, and each print, regardless of size or edition, is individually crafted under his supervision.

NOTES

• shipping and applicable sales tax are additional
• mounting surfaces, mats, and framing materials are archival
• Conventionally-framed prints are glazed with acrylic, not glass.
• *CAUTION: To prevent damage, have your professional framer open ”print alone” packages, especially those in larger sizes. Self-framers should order mounted and matted (ie: ready-to-frame) prints!
• **Frameless “museum mount” prints are bonded to Dibond aluminum-and-polyolefin sheet with museum-back subframe, with a UV-protective film laminate over the print surface. (See photo.) Greg’s favorite!
• ***For those on a budget: the mounted 10″x14″ print is matted to a standard 16″ x 20″ frame size available in your local craft store. (See photo.)
