2026 Walker's Plantation formation
|
Reconstruction of the 2026 Walker's Plantation formation | ||
| 1. |
| Draw a circle. Draw the horizontal and vertical centerlines. |
| 2. |
| Construct the inscribed decagon (regular 10-sided polygon) of circle 1, pointing to the right. Number the angular points clockwise 1 - 10, starting at the one next from the top to the right. |
| 3. |
| Construct the inscribed decagon of the circle enclosed by decagon 2, pointing up. |
| 4. |
| Construct the inscribed decagon of the circle enclosed by decagon 3, pointing to the right. Number the angular points clockwise 1 - 10, starting at the one next from the top to the right. |
| 5. |
| Construct ten circles, centered at each angular point of decagon 4, passing through each next angular point. Number these circles according to the numbering of the angular points. |
| 6. |
| Construct a circle centered at the lower righthand intersection of circles 5 nrs. 8 and 10, passing through angular point 4 nr. 10. |
| 7. |
| Construct a circle centered at the lower lefthand intersection of circles 5 nrs. 1 and 3, passing through angular point 4 nr. 1. |
| 8. |
| Draw the connecting line between the center of circle 1 and angular point 4 nr. 7. |
| 9. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 6, tangent to line 8. |
| 10. |
| Draw the connecting line between the center of circle 1 and angular point 4 nr. 4. |
| 11. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 7, tangent to line 10. |
| 12. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, passing through the innermost mutual intersections of circles 5. |
| 13. |
| Draw the connecting line between angular point 2 nr. 1 and angular point 4 nr. 10. |
| 14. |
| Draw the connecting line between angular point 2 nr. 10 and angular point 4 nr. 1. |
| 15. |
| Construct a circle centered at angular point 2 nr. 1, passing through the intersection of line 13 and the upper righthand side of decagon 3. |
| 16. |
| Copy circle 15 to the center of circle 1. |
| 17. |
| Remove all redundant parts from circles 5 nrs. 1, 2, 9, and 10, circles 6, 7, 9, and 11, and lines 13 and 14, such that... |
| 18. |
| ...this pattern remains. |
| 19. |
| Repeat all necessary steps to copy pattern 18 nine times, from the top of decagon 3, to the other angular points, while rotating around the center of circle 1. |
| 20. |
| Draw the connecting line between the top of decagon 3 and angular point 2 nr. 6. |
| 21. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to line 20. |
| 22. |
| Construct a "two-points" circle (defined by the two end-points of a centerline) between the righthand intersections of circles 12 and 21 with the horizontal centerline. |
| 23. |
| Copy circle 22 to the center of circle 1. |
| 24. |
| Circles 16, 21, and 23, and patterns 18, and 19, together, make up the final reconstruction. |
| 25. |
| Colour all areas corresponding to standing... |
| 26. |
| ...or to flattened crop, and finish the reconstruction of the 2026 Walker's Plantation formation. |
| 27. |
| The final result, matched with the aerial image. |
