This simple but beautiful formation was reported on Friday 5th June at New Farm near Chiseldon (between Marlborough and Swindon).  With both the WCCSG usual photographers out of the county, Andrew Pyrka kindly stepped in.  Below are his stunning aerial shots and left are groundshots (please click on them to enlarge).

Report

The WCCSG team have not yet visited this formation.

 

It is obviously based on '3' and from early overhead shots it looks to have lovely swirls of laid crop inside the design (also see Andrew's groundshots opposite).

 

A short report sent from Andrew along with his pictures is below:

There are some formations which you walk into and feel overwhelming energy. This formation I was eager to leave! My heart was racing, I felt jumpy and kept looking over my shoulder.


Bad weather on the horizon was threatening so had to rush with photos and skipped the usual detailed inspection.


One  part of the formation was different from the rest - one of the quarter moon circles had two swirls next to each other. The rest had one characteristic central swirl.  The swirl in the centre circle is again off centre (as we've seen so mnay times this year).  Intricate weaves are also very present.


This formation was still very crisp under foot, so not many visitors had walked through its avenues.
