Progression

Lindy — 6/21/2008 6:34:54 AM (archived)

Here's a link showing the "progression" in the past decade or so; including the infamous "Julia Set", the largest formation ever with 409 circles and over 800 ft. wide. You should see this one from the air, with a person standing in it. Iwould have taken an ARMY to do it.

You can scroll down and look at the nodes of the plants that are burned or bent and see the precision within some of the formations. This is a good page to start <with.>

    - Sure it does. This isn't numbers, it's graphics. - TB - 6/20/2008 4:20:17 AM
      - It's just for a freehand doodler to divide a circle in eight segments than ten. Try it. - TB - 6/20/2008 4:21:54 AM
