Reconstruction of the 2016 Fulley Wood formation | ||
1. | Draw a circle. Draw and extend the horizontal and vertical centerlines. | |
2. | Construct a circle centered at the lefthand intersection, and passing through the righthand intersection of circle 1 and the horizontal centerline. | |
3. | Copy circle 2 five times, to the lefthand intersection of circle 2 and the horizontal centerline, and consecutively to the corresponding intersections, as shown. | |
4. | Copy circle 1 to the lefthand intersection of the leftmost circle 3 and the horizontal centerline. | |
5. | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 4 at the lefthand side. | |
6. | Construct a circle centered at the righthand intersection, and passing through the lefthand intersection of circle 1 and the horizontal centerline. | |
7. | Copy circle 6 five times, to the righthand intersection of circle 6 and the horizontal centerline, and consecutively to the corresponding intersections, as shown. | |
8. | Construct five circles concentric to circle 2, tangent to circles 3 at the lefthand sides. | |
9. | Construct five circles concentric to circle 6, tangent to circles 7 at the righthand sides. | |
10. | Construct a circle centered at the lower, and passing through the upper intersection of circles 2 and 6. | |
11. | Copy circle 10 to the center of circle 1. | |
12. | Copy circle 1 to the upper intersection of circle 5 and the vertical centerline. | |
13. | Construct a circle centered at the lower intersection of circle 11 and the vertical centerline, tangent to circle 12 at the upper side. | |
14. | Construct a circle tangent to and outside of circles 2 and 6 at the lower sides, and tangent to circle 11. | |
15. | Copy circle 14 to the upper intersection of circle 13 and the vertical centerline. | |
16. | Construct a circle concentric to circle 13, tangent to circle 15 at the lower side. | |
17. | Construct a circle centered at the upper intersection of circle 5 and the vertical centerline, tangent to circle 16 at the upper side. | |
18. | Copy circle 17 six times, to the lefthand intersections of circles 2 and 8 with the horizontal centerline. | |
19. | Construct six circles concentric to circle 2, tangent to circles 18 at the lefthand sides. See detail. | |
20. | Construct five circles concentric to circle 6, tangent to circles 19 at the righthand sides, except for the innermost circle 19. See detail. | |
21. | Circles 2, 5, 6, 8, 9, 13, 16, 19, and 20, are used for the final reconstruction. | |
22. | Remove all parts not visible within the formation itself. | |
23. | Colour all areas corresponding to standing... | |
24. | ...or to flattened crop, and finish the reconstruction of the 2016 Fulley Wood formation. | |
25. | The final result, matched with two aerial images. |
