Pretty nice looking. I admire the work that some of the people put into them. Takes planning, i thik its kinda an art, but those bastards ruin all those peoples crops.
so you think that these are all man made?? just a couple of over imagiative teens on a weekend romp?? i highly doubt that given the geometric accuracy of these designes

Now... here's a thought question for you: We have aliens visiting. They have math and technology far beyond ours. So why do the circles go from simple stuff to digital image techniques that are popular in commercial art rather than breaking new ground? And why (since they were capable of doing it) didn't they post fractal images long before 1979, or scanned-line images like Crabwood Farm long before 1990?

judging from the complexity of the images i doubt that human beings could have did anything so elaborate and beautifull

A common misconception about the circlemakers is that theyre teenage pranksters or drunks. But most are very smart artists who have the skills, resources and time to plan and develop such patterns in the grass, and only gratification is seeing their work posted on conspiracy forums everywhere.

Who said so???

The designs can't be made that perfectly by human hands. End of argument.

Or do you think that were aliens that make the gardens of Versailles
or Melun, both from the XVII century?
Please, never underestimate the creative power of the human beings and their capacity of doing what they have imagined.
