This is a highly unusual , but strangely fascinating design. It was first reported on the 16th of June, but we didn’t get to photograph it until almost a month later in July. The green barley had ripened to a beautiful warm golden brown, with a slight twist of red. The field had been greatly damaged by the time we reached it, wind and rain had flattened much of the field, which was located on an exposed slope. However, rather than completely ruining the formation, we found that it had merely changed the feel of the place. Gone were the original crisp lines of the formation, replaced by a gentile and ephemeral softness; the warmth of the crop mixed with a little atmospheric cloud made for quite a spellbinding experience. Rather than being disappointed to have missed the formation at its best, we were amazed at the beautiful mottled texture of the field and how visible the design still…

Geometry
7 diagram file(s) on this page. measured from the diagram itself, and experimental: the extractor's rotational order is right on 88.8 % of a 200-diagram hand-labelled set against a gate of 90 %, so read a number here beside the picture rather than instead of it.
| diagram | rotational symmetry | elements | rings | mirror | fill |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| cc 2a4ca0a3 | ≈ none found | 2 | 4 | 0.955 | 0.445 |
Experimental, and marked ≈ wherever it appears. These numbers are read off a drawing, not off the field: the extractor's rotational order agrees with a hand-labelled set on 88.8 per cent of 200 diagrams against a gate of 90 per cent, its element count is within one on 97.5 per cent, and its ring count is not calibrated at all. Nothing in the analysis tree is derived from the rotational order while that gate is unmet.
Diagrams that look like these: cc 2a4ca0a3 · ccc 3b9e6f8b · ccc 2a4ca0a3 · ccc 5520b709 · ccc 8435ae70 · tt 0f6d778c— the nearest by perceptual hash. The whole archive is browsable by shape in the shape section, and this formation's own diagrams go straight into that grid: show them in the grid.
