Ladies and Gentleman – The
Silbury Hill formation without a single doubt is 100% genuine.
I find the beauty and the
inbuilt clock within nature quite astonishing. A simple plant
knows that its late in growth so it surges to catch up and meet the
deadline of harvest. Only a few days ago we commented that it could
be several days before there is a chance of a barley formation, but
with a combination of sunshine and rain the fields have now changed
from vibrant yellows to chlorophyll filled green.
The makers have returned to the
same field once again, just opposite Silbury Hill and only a few
meters from where 2009s Mayan Headdress formation was, to bring us
the first formation of 2010 in barley.
A simple but elegant formation,
featuring swirls within the flattened sections of the formation,
measuring at 195 feet in circumference, we also measured the
smaller elements which were 24 feet from point to point, this
measurement was equal throughout the formation.
A colleague of mine made an
interesting observation – if you look towards Silbury Hill the
nearest horizon just behind the hill is level with the top of
Silbury Hill. No matter where you stood in the formation the level
of the horizon remains the same – the point here is – if this
formation was made a few feet lower or higher then this horizon
would not line up with Silbury Hill. This may indeed have an
importance when it comes down to alignment of formations, but to
achieve something of this nature would require surveyors laser type
equipment and one hell of a good judgment in placing the formation
in this perfectly lined up spot.
Can all visitors to crop
formations please apply some common sense, show some respect to the
framer and walk into formations via tramlines. The Silbury Hill
(only a few hours old! ) formation has already developed unsightly
veins where visitors took short cuts through the barley.
