Squares within squares within squares. 

The first impression of this formation was that of an eight-pointed star. The G8 conference to be held in Scotland was mentioned by some of the people visiting the formation as a possible message. Also the number eight brings sacred medieval architecture into play with all the mystery that that entails. This new formation appeared in the next field to the beautiful one that had appeared earlier in the season in oil seed rape below Golden Ball hill. 

On seeing this formation from the air I soon saw that it was geometrically based on the square. The impact of seeing the clear direction of the lay from the air was much greater than seeing it on the ground. When seen at ground level the lay appeared to be very rough in appearance. Once again this shows the importance of seeing the formations from the air to understand their full significance. The central motif brought back memories, for me at least, of the last major circle to appear near Silbury Hill towards the end of the season last year. This event does not have quite the same impact as Silbury Hill but the subtleties of it are certain to grow on you the more you look at the aerial photographs and the multidimensional qualities of this formation take hold of your imagination.

The Green Man?

We visited the eight pointed star formation at Hundred Acres (East Field),  Alton Priors, on August 7, and when reviewing our photographs that evening  saw some images of a face framed by the central tufts. We wonder what you  think of this and hope it is of interest.

These pictures are of the internal structure of the East Field Formation. I didn't measure the diameter of the formation I am sure others will. It is a great formation with lots of different aspects within it. The lay is a bit messy in parts but doesn't take anything away from it. There are grape shots around the circumference with a tuft in the middle of each, quite enchanting. I met a young Australian couple here experiencing their first crop formation they were, as you can see, quite excited by it all. I found this to be one of the best I have seen this year so far. I expect the Trolls on the forum will rubbish it as usual but who listens to them anyway.
