Reconstruction of the Crooked Soley 28-08-2002 formation |
|||||
1. | ![]() | Draw a circle. Draw the horizontal and vertical centerlines. | |||
2. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed equilateral triangle of circle 1, pointing down. | |||
3. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed circle of triangle 2. | |||
4. | ![]() | Draw the horizontal ray of circle 3 to the right. | |||
5. | ![]() | Copy ray 4 71 times, and distribute 72 rays in total evenly around the center of circle 3. | |||
6. | ![]() | Draw the connecting line between the intersections of both rays, left and right, just above the horizontal centerline, and circle 3. | |||
7. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to line 6. | |||
8. | ![]() | Construct a circle centered at the right-hand intersection of circle 3 and the horizontal centerline, tangent to circle 7 at the left-hand side. | |||
9. | ![]() | Copy circle 8 5 times and distribute the 6 circles in total evenly around circle 3. | |||
10. | ![]() | Construct a (small) circle, tangent to circle 8 at the outside on the left, and tangent to both rightmost circles 9 at the inside, as shown. | |||
11. | ![]() | Copy circle 10 to the center of circle 8. | |||
12. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 11 at the left-hand side. | |||
13. | ![]() | Construct the connecting line between the left-hand intersections of circle 8 and upper and lower left circles 9, as shown. | |||
14. | ![]() | Construct a (very small) circle centered at the left-hand intersection of circle 8 and the horizontal centerline, tangent to line 13. | |||
15. | ![]() | Construct two circles concentric to circle 8, tangent to both sides of circle 14. | |||
16. | ![]() | Clip off those parts of circles 15 falling outside circle 1 and inside circle 12. | |||
17. | ![]() | Copy the remaining 4 curves 16 71 times and distribute the 72 sets of curves in total evenly around the center of circle 1. Together with circles 1 and 12, they form the basis for the reconstruction. | |||
18. | ![]() | Remove all parts of curves 17, except for the "diamonds" that form the pattern of the formation, as shown. High resolution dwf-file | |||
19. | ![]() | Colouring all areas corresponding to standing crop... High resolution dwf-file | |||
20. | ![]() | ...or to flattened crop, finishes the reconstruction of the Crooked Soley 28-08-2002 formation. High resolution dwf-file | |||
