Solar Power album with a video featuring the album’s logo as a crop circle (left); it was in fact created in the UK at Walker’s Plantation, near Broad Hinton, Wiltshire. Meanwhile, the video game phenomenon Fortnite has also been foreshadowing its next major iteration with a prominent in-game crop formation, which also had a physical manifestation at Uffcot, also in Wiltshire (right).
