Crop Circles

Crop circles are created by flattening common crops such as wheat, corn and soy. The earliest known crop circles were created in the 17th century, but it wasn't until recently that people became interested in this type of work. Most of the earlier crop circles were circular (duh--hence the name); however, this type of work has transformed into crop art. This basically means that the work is no longer strictyl circular, instead it can form any shape. I'v decided to just post a few pictures of crop art that I found to be pretty interesting.

Those are sweet! Crop art since the 17th century? Wow...who would have guessed the Pilgrims were getting so crazy! Seriously, I'm curious to know what devices they use to cut so precisely...especially hundreds of years ago!
