Crop formation, Cheesefoot, Hampshire
Aerial view of a crop formation at Cheesefoot, Hampshire, England. Crop formations are patterns of flattened plants in crops such as wheat or barley. They started appearing frequently in the mid-1980s in south-west England. Their cause is unknown. Many theories exist, ranging from science-based physical explanations such as the " plasma vortex" theory based on the phenomenon of electrohydrodynamics (EHD) to unorthodox suggestions that they are created by extraterrestrial intelligences. 3 concentric circles with antennae

17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial view captures a mesmerizing crop formation at Cheesefoot, Hampshire, England. The intricate pattern of flattened plants in the wheat or barley crops creates an enigmatic spectacle that has puzzled scientists and enthusiasts alike since its emergence in the mid-1980s. The cause behind these mysterious crop formations remains shrouded in uncertainty, giving rise to numerous theories. Some propose science-based explanations like the "plasma vortex" theory rooted in electrohydrodynamics (EHD), while others venture into unorthodox realms by suggesting extraterrestrial intelligences as their creators. In this particular print, three concentric circles with antennae stand out against the backdrop of lush green fields. The precision and complexity of this design leave observers astounded, questioning how such intricate patterns could be formed seemingly overnight without any apparent human intervention. Beyond their puzzling origin story lies a deeper fascination with land use and environmental impact. Crop formations have become symbols of our complex relationship with nature, prompting discussions about sustainability and conservation practices within agricultural landscapes. As we gaze upon this image captured by Science Photo Library, we are reminded of the vast mysteries that still await unraveling within our world. It serves as a testament to both human curiosity and our enduring quest for understanding the inexplicable wonders that surround us.
