Stunning photo!
I'm not sure what you mean by "wheel line." I see a white band in the lower right; is this what you're talking about?
Anyway, great photo!

(11,209 posts)4. A wheel line is a mechanized sprinkler irrigation system for crops.
The white band you see is water being directed at the ground, while at the end of the line water is sprayed more powerfully. Farmers use them on large fields.
Thank You! I apologize for not realizing that not everyone has wheel lines in their neighborhood.

No worries! My education continues.
