Great Effort Andrew 

Sadly I see Andrew Pykra got to this formation as the sun was going down. He has done a great job under difficult lighting conditions. I do hope he manages to find time to return to this intriguing formation a little earlier in the day. 


I do know Andrew was pressed for time having to take aerial shots before going into the formation.

Unfortunately there are just not enough hours in the day. However these shots capture a mysterious atmosphere that seems to be brooding in this formation at this time of night.

 
Well done Andrew for your undoubted effort to bring us these ground shots.

Now that’s what I call a Crop Circle Formation 

When the message of this new formation came through – something told me not to hesitate, so this one I had to go and see!.

We were aiming to catch some contrast from the setting sun but due to the location and with the formation lying in a dip, the sun set below the visible horizon before we managed to get there.

At ground level the formation felt right and flowed with a positive feeling. The lay of the formation just simply displayed geometric perfection with barley swirling into the open circles. A big thumbs up to the makers in restoring some more faith that they are still around and haven’t taken an Italian vacation after all !! 

This figure of eight formation with open and closed circles gave me the impression of  a ‘ broken chain ‘ with swirling water flowing in and out of each circle. ( please refer to images showing a blue contrast ) . ( There is a clue here which I will tell you hopefully next Monday ) 

This barley formation also showed something of interest which was visible throughout the entire formation . The semi mature flattened barley had also young barley mixed within, but the young barley was left standing upright and appeared not to affected as was the semi mature barley. How is this possible ? – How does the force applied determine whether the plant is young or old ? and how does it avoid this young plant in the process of creation ?. It also a good indication that some kind of respect to the young plant is shown..  

There was also no signs of other non native plants mixed into this formation. 

We stayed till the sun set and took some more shots which again displayed something different – the flattened barley was now showing white swirls – probably a reflection from the flash but nevertheless an interesting effect.  

Could this arrival be a sign that the long awaited season is about to kick off !!??

I came here on Sunday lunchtime, it was wonderfully peaceful except for the sound of shotguns in the distance. There was only one couple here at the time and I was able to experience the remarkable ambience of the event. I was struck with the neatness of the formation, albeit the crop is trying to reassert itself. I like this formation, the lays are good with snaky paths, good spirals on the circular parts and a rather nice "nest" in one of the circles.

I dowsed the formation and found a faint energy line running the length of the event, straight down the middle as they say. As I was leaving there were a lot of people arriving, so there will be broken stems all over the place. Thanks to Mr Hues for allowing access, there is a donation tin in the middle of the formation.
