    Mystery photo

    Can anyone guess what this is? (Don't cheat and go to photo source!)



    Hint: it's a local delicacy around here...

        I would agree with Cracker, it looks like cranberry bog for ariel photo.

                  Gee, I can't get up early enough for you guys. That's an aerial view of cranberry harvesting in Warren, WI, about 40 miles east of here. WI leads the country in cranberry production and is expecting the second largest harvest ever.

                  It was news to me that they grow the crops dry and actually like hot dry conditions just prior to harvesting, then flood the fields so they can gather the fruit.

                    cranberry's are a really neat fruit, float to harvest, and bounce to do Quality control, try bouncing a strawberry or really, any other fruit to be honest

                      Hmmm... In Wisconsin, it's either snap beans (#1 is the US), potatoes (#3), or cranberries (#1). Since I haven't heard of flooding fields to harvest potatoes, I'm going to have to go with cranberries too.

                      and yes, it's a potato.

                        With all those lame Ocean Spray commercials on the TV, where the whole thing is shot hip-deep in an ersatz bog? Heck, it wasn't even hard enough for me to wanna cheat...
