Crop Circle - probably the last of the season

            You may have seen earlier in my Photostream I’ve shot a few of these creations over the summer as most of them have appeared more or less on my virtual doorstep

I was very glad to be able to capture this one as its probably the last one of the season as the harvest draws to a close (indeed this circle was in a field surrounded by other fields that have already been cleared)

It’s a nice example, and large – probably 100 metres in diameter

For those unfamiliar with crop circles, they are patterns  created by flattening a crop usually a cereal. The term was first coined in the early 1980s. Although obscure natural causes or alien origins of crop circles have been suggested by fringe theorists, there is no scientific evidence for such explanations, and all crop circles are consistent with human-made items (although with the more elaborate ones, its not always possible to see how!) 

Although such formations have appeared worldwide, south-west England is considered without doubt to be the “world capital” of crop circles. They are particularly concentrated in the county of Wiltshire, where a treasure trove of ancient history includes the Neolithic sites of Stonehenge and Avebury – both crop circle hotspots. There have been 380 crop circles recorded in the county alone since 2005
