2007 Wilton Water Grid formation

Reconstruction of the 2007 Wilton Water Grid formation | ||
| 1. |
| Draw a circle. Draw and extend the horizontal and vertical centerlines. |
| 2. |
| Copy circle 1 to its righthand intersection with the horizontal centerline. |
| 3. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 2 at the righthand side. |
| 4. |
| Construct the inscribed octagon (regular 8-sided polygon) of circle 1, pointing to the right. |
| 5. |
| Create the inscribed octagram (regular 8-pointed star) of circle 1, by drawing eight diagonals of octagon 4, connecting every angular point with every third one, as shown. |
| 6. |
| Construct the inscribed circle of the octagon enclosed by octagram 5, as shown. |
| 7. |
| Construct a circle centered at the rightmost angular point of octagon 4, passing through both adjacent angular points. |
| 8. |
| Copy circle 7 seven times, to all other angular points of octagon 4. |
| 9. |
| Construct a "two-points" circle, defined by the end-points of a centerline, with the points at the righthand intersections of circles 7 and 3 with the horizontal centerline. |
| 10. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, passing through the center of circle 9. |
| 11. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 7, tangent to circle 10 at the righthand side. |
| 12. |
| Copy circle 11 seven times, to the centers of circles 8. |
| 13. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 7, passing through the righthand intersection of the two rightmost circles 12. |
| 14. |
| Copy circle 13 seven times, to the centers of circles 8. |
| 15. |
| Circles 1, 3, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14 are used for the final reconstruction. |
| 16. |
| Remove everything that is not visible in the formation itself. |
| 17. |
| Colouring all areas with standing... |
| 18. |
| ...or with flattened crop, finishes the reconstruction of the 2007 Wilton Water Grid formation. |
| 19. |
| The final result, matched with the aerial image. |
