Sand Formation "crop circle" on 8-17-11 - showing alignment?

[Mary V]

 

I can't claim to be the "crop circle" expert...but it did strike as possibly referencing an alignment coming up? Anyone have any guesses on this?

... a sad attempt at mimicking Escher's art --- you know I'm just kidding, right?

There must be a meaning - hmmmmmmm - no, I still think they are trying to use other earth mediums - crops, sand, ice and yes, Brian, snow.... maybe next, stone and iron

Maybe a helicopter dropped a Zamboni machine in.

Could be an artsy-fartsy ET trying a new medium, sand.... doesn't seem to work as well as crops, IMO.

Do any of you see the image of two cars in the lines of the circle? It was the first thing that popped for me.

Xining is where the 6.9/7 EQ hit and killed around 10K people last year (Apr). Is this circle linked?

Jim maybe a new kind of roundabout

Not to seem funny but it looks like a go cart track to me!

Brian and Susan  I agree with the read from above.

We do have the alignment of the 3 comets- Ford(?), Elenin and Honda coming up.  Could it be referencing that?

[Alex Cortes]

I think they are ment for observers from above....considering size, location and lack of explanation :)

Wow!

I wish but that seems to be the highest shot that was shown in the series of photos - perhaps harder to get fly-over permission in China, maybe?
