Cowdown - tracks

| The "tracks" the Heat and Wind packets create/follow are clearly visible in many photos. One of the clearest examples in which they are prominent is in the outermost Ring in the Cowdown "MeanderRings" Formation (England '95) | Cowdown - tracks |

of the Telegraph Hill Formation (England '95). Below: A beautiful Galactic 'S'-swirled centre from an Uffington Circle (England '94). See also Galactic Spiral photos, page 20. |
I've studied the lay sequencing of complex Formations and have discovered that all contiguous segments of a Pattern are laid simultaneously. The associated but separate parts of the Formation are most probably laid at the same time. The split-second timing which creates these magnificent Patterns must indeed be awesome to behold in process!
