Crop Circles Go 3D

In the lazy days of August, nHumanities' thoughts invariably stray to crop circles. And crop circles have taken on surprising new shapes and dimensions in England this summer. Wired News reports that the complicated crop circle pictured above appeared the first week of July near Ashbury, Oxfordshire.

Crop circle photographer Steve Alexander says, "Of late, the crop circles seem concerned with the moving of one dimension into another. . . . This is perhaps one of the most striking and overt expressions of that idea to date."
