Britglyph

Via another blog I am also taking part in 'Britglyph' - which can best be explained, (as described by one of the creators of the project) thus(!)-:

Since prehistoric times, humans have left their mark on the world around them by creating objects and markings to last the ages - and even perhaps to be seen from the vantage of the stars. There is a deep human desire to communicate with the mysterious, to leave something of ourselves in time, to make a mark and own a moment...if only to say 'I was here, I lived!' The designs on the Nazca plains, the Egyptian Pyramids, the Mayan pyramids, crop circles, hill figures and megaliths did just this - and were created with the pinnacle of that era's technologies.

This project will bring people together across the country to create a new kind of Geoglyph, one that will be created using the technologies available to us now.
If successful, we will have created the largest geoglyph of all time.

Sounds cool. To also take part go to Britglyph I think it starts on the 1st Dec until the 15th. Intriguing.........
