1. | ![]() | Draw a circle. Draw and extend the horizontal and vertical centerlines. | |||
2. | ![]() | Construct the circumscribed hexagon (regular 6-sided polygon) of circle 1, pointing to the right. | |||
3. | ![]() | Construct the circumscribed circle of hexagon 2. | |||
4. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed equilateral triangle of circle 3, pointing down. | |||
5. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed equilateral triangle of circle 3, pointing up. | |||
6. | ![]() | Construct a circle centered at the mid-point of the upper side of triangle 4, passing through the intersection of this side with the upper righthand side of triangle 5. | |||
7. | ![]() | Copy circle 6 two times, to the mid-points of the other sides of triangle 4. | |||
8. | ![]() | Construct a "two-points" circle (defined by the two end-points of a centerline) between the upper intersections of circles 1 and 6 with the vertical centerline. | |||
9. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 6, passing through the center of circle 8. | |||
10. | ![]() | Copy circle 9 two times, to the centers of circles 7. | |||
11. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, passing through the center of circle 8. | |||
12. | ![]() | Construct a circle centered at the top of triangle 5, tangent to the upper side of triangle 4. | |||
13. | ![]() | Construct a circle centered at the intersection of circle 12 and the upper righthand side of triangle 5, tangent to circle 6 at the righthand side. See detail. | |||
![]() | |||||
14. | ![]() | Copy circle 13 to the top of triangle 5. | |||
15. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 14 at the lower side. | |||
16. | ![]() | Copy circle 8 to the upper intersection of circle 15 and the vertical centerline. | |||
17. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 16 at the lower side. | |||
18. | ![]() | Construct a (small) circle centered at the intersection of the upper side of triangle 4 and the upper lefthand side of hexagon 2, passing through the lefthand intersection of the same side with circle 1. See detail. | |||
![]() | |||||
19. | ![]() | Copy circle 18 to the center of circle 1. | |||
20. | ![]() | Copy circle 18 another twelve times, to the angular points of hexagon 2 and of triangles 4 and 5. | |||
21. | ![]() | Construct twelve pairs of parallel lines, pairwise tangent to circle 19 and each of circles 20, all at both sides, as shown. See detail. | |||
![]() | |||||
22. | ![]() | Circles 1, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 15 and 17, and lines 21, are used for the final reconstruction. | |||
23. | ![]() | Remove all parts not visible within the formation itself. High resolution dwf-file | |||
24. | ![]() | Colour all areas corresponding to standing... High resolution dwf-file | |||
25. | ![]() | ...or to flattened crop, and finish the reconstruction of the Stonehenge (3) formation of 13-07-2011. High resolution dwf-file | |||
26. | ![]() Courtesy the Crop Circle Connector | The final result, matched with the aerial image. | |||
