Although I'm not in England yet, Busty Taylor has kindly given me
permission to use his photos on my page -- and to perform my
infamous PhotoShop tricks on them.
So for openers, here's the first really beautiful and original crop
circle of summer 2004 IMHO, the Celtic-looking Triple Spiral
formation next to the Ridgeway, and not far from The
Sanctuary. Sadly the farmer destroyed it a day or two after it
appeared by cutting out the pretty spiral elements.
Starting with Busty's image of the desecrated formation, I was able
to restore it using my digital tricks, and at the same time I
removed the tramlines so the design would be un-cluttered. I didn't
do a perfect job, but nevertheless, the image gives an accurate
impression of what the formation looked like.
I should be back in Wiltshire in July, but in the meantime I shall
be posting pictures of Busty's treated in my inimitable style ;).
