Irrigation valve. Adams County, Wisconsin

I doubt if the Wisconsin farmer who owns this irrigation valve thinks of it in any way as art. And maybe it's not. But something about it appealed to me wandering around in a field one morning near Wisconsin Dells. But then again, I am fascinated by certain everyday objects. Among them, water towers, cell phone towers, telephone poles, and blacktop roads. However, if the farmer had approached me demanding to know why I was trespassing so close to his irrigation valve, I probably would have had a hard time explaining it to him.
