Lakefield, MN off of I90. Looked like farmers burning fields from what I can tell.

Another pic of the same area.

What sort of machinery is the photo taken from?

I stared and stared and stared... and all I can come up with is a gondola on a ferris wheel, but I'm sure that's not it. Helicopter?

Whatever it is, please post a shot of it from a front 3/4 perspective.

Wind turbine. Identical others are the white structures in the distance. Southern MN has LOTS of wind.

edit: sorry. late to the party.

Like others have stated, this is the view out of the top hatch of the nacelle of a wind turbine. Here is a pic from below. Note blades are pitched backwards as this turbine had just been constructed.
