Reconstruction of the
2014 The Long Man formation |
|
1. |
| Draw a circle. Draw the horizontal and vertical centerlines.
|
|
2. |
| Construct the inscribed pentagon (regular 5-sided polygon) of circle 1, pointing down.
|
|
3. |
| Construct the inscribed pentagon of circle 1, pointing up.
|
|
4. |
| Draw the connecting line between the two rightmost angular points of pentagons 2 and 3.
|
|
5. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to line 4.
|
|
6. |
| Construct the inscribed pentagon of circle 5, pointing down.
|
|
7. |
| Construct a circle centered at the righthand intersection of circle 5 and the horizontal centerline, tangent to circle 1 at the righthand side.
|
|
8. |
| Copy circle 7 to the righthand intersection of pentagon 6 and the horizontal centerline.
|
|
9. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 8 at the lefthand side.
|
|
10. |
| Construct the inscribed pentagon of circle 9, pointing down.
|
|
11. |
| Construct a circle centered at the upper intersection of pentagon 6 and the vertical centerline, tangent to circle 9 at the upper side. See detail.
|
|
|
|
12. |
| Copy circle 11 to the upper intersection of pentagon 10 and the vertical centerline. See detail.
|
|
|
|
13. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 12 at the lower side. See detail.
|
|
|
|
14. |
| Construct the inscribed pentagon of circle 13, pointing down.
|
|
15. |
| Copy circle 11 to the upper intersection of pentagon 14 and the vertical centerline. See detail.
|
|
|
|
16. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 15 at the lower side. See detail.
|
|
|
|
17. |
| Construct the inscribed pentagon of circle 16, pointing down.
|
|
18. |
| Copy circle 11 to the upper intersection of pentagon 17 and the vertical centerline. See detail.
|
|
|
|
19. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 18 at the lower side. See detail.
|
|
|
|
20. |
| Construct the inscribed pentagon of circle 19, pointing down.
|
|
21. |
| Draw the five diagonals of pentagon 20.
|
|
22. |
| Circles 1, 5, 9, 13, 16, and 19, pentagons 6, 10, 14 and 17, and diagonals 21, are used for the final reconstruction.
|
|
23. |
| Remove all parts not visible within the formation itself.
|
|
24. |
| Colour all areas corresponding to standing...
|
|
25. |
| ...or to flattened crop, and finish the reconstruction of the 2014 The Long Man formation.
|
|
26. |
| The final result, matched with the aerial image.
