2000 Uffington White Horse formation (largest circle only)
|
Reconstruction of the 2000 Uffington White Horse formation (largest circle only) | ||
| 1. | |
Draw a circle. |
| 2. | |
Construct a hexagon (regular 6-sided polygon). |
| 3. | |
Centered at each of the corners of the hexagon, construct circles (6 in total) each passing through two other corners that form together with its center an equilateral triangle. Remove all parts of circles outside the hexagon. |
| 4. | |
The intersections of the previous circles form a new, smaller hexagon. For each of the corner points of this hexagon, repeat the construction of step 3, removing everything outside the smaller hexagon. |
| 5. | |
Repeat the previous step another time for the newly formed still smaller hexagon... |
| 6. | |
...and again a last time. |
| 7. | |
Making black every other "triangle" (all three sides are curved) in a checkerboard-like way concludes the reconstruction of the 2000 Uffington White Horse formation (largest circle only). Black represents standing crop. |
