"The fields of the Wiltshire countryside sit like a gigantic patchwork quilt elegantly draped over the many hills and vales that comprise this ancient landscape. Its many hues and textures, criss-crossed with blue satin ribbons of small streams and broader canals, are an unforgettable sight to anyone lucky enough to have flown over this beautiful place. During the sultry summer months, the enigmatic circle-makers embroider this velveteen coverlet with strange symbols, sometimes hundreds of feet in diameter. Each year thousands of visitors throng here to walk inside these gigantic temporary temples. Like some great cultural festival, some come to discover, some to contemplate, some just to gawk. They walk, talk, amble and ramble their way along by long-barrows, round-barrows and stone circles in search of new experiences and an elusive glimpse of something mysterious. Then slowly, the golden blanket of ripe wheat begins to disappear, to be replaced by the familiar corduroy stripes left behind by herds of grazing harvesters signalling that another year is over. This film takes you over and through the fields of 2008 to wonder at and ponder the magical crop circles we saw there..."
