Gila?
Not sure if the new collages belong to an offshoot series of the Art 10×10, completed almost 4 years ago after all, or represents a completely new and separate series. If the former, I’m tempted to call it Gila, perhaps the most interesting town name left in northern Jasper County, Illinois where I procured most of the names for the 10×10 series (Hidalgo, Rose Hill, Yale, Newton, Wheeler, and Jasper itself). If the latter, it could be, for instance, based on letters instead of numbers, or A-Z instead of 1-10. Not sure if the series will contain pairs of animations like those of the 10×10 — in general, these happened every 4th collage. If so, the last one I have completed for the new series (“Monsters”) may be a candidate for an animation itself… hmmm.
So what does it mean so far? Certainly it’s in sync with the “Baker Bloch in England” set created in March 2010, with “King Tull” (3nd collage of new series) containing the same “king” of that earlier set. “BB in England” represents a type of escape from the 10×10, like the “Where are we on that?” virtual exhibit from about 9 months prior (and several months after the completion of the 10×10 itself). Collages within become simpler, and do not stand on their own or represent self-contained works, instead lending their *information* to a larger flow — the story of BB in England itself, which exits in two forms even, an abbreviated “gallery” version and a full text version, kind of a book as well. “BB in England” may be the best bit of the Baker Blinker Blog as a whole, the most cohesive. If not, it may be the analysis I wrote for the Wheeler-Jasper series. Both of these sets are now a part of the Britain Britain Britain module of the baker b. web site, combined with Edna’s England travelogue from Fall and Winter 2010 (must finish reading soon!).
Interesting as well that both Where are we on that and BB in England were housed in their own unique Second Life galleries, with BBE still existing in that virtual reality in the TILE Tower of Rubi.
Another way the new series plugs into the BBE exhibit is through “Monsters” and the reemergence of the Crescent House of Cherhill, where Baker Bloch and family apparently stayed for a bit while in Wiltshire England in 2010. It could be a return to the River Key, where the trip started for Baker Bloch, is in the works next. Use more photos from Brian Robert Marshall, who I have recently corresponded with. Return to an objective viewpoint. Maybe even bring in images from the Lake District again, which dominated the Art 10×10.
Hucka D.:
We retreat from Rockley to Cherhill back to the River Key and Purton Stoke, creating an objective viewing platform down into Central Wiltshire. Good day to you baker b.
bb:
Hi Hucka D.
Hucka D.:
Return to Brian Robert Marshall’s photos used in the old exhibit [Baker Bloch in England]. Plug that, as you say, into the… Gila you’re calling it?
bb:
Maybe, Hucka D.
Hucka D.:
Good. Gila. Monster. That’s the hinge.

Someone called Laura was proposed to that day and her fiancee had come up with an original idea to do this. The reason I present this hoax on my crop circle website is because this case is highly educational and it comes with a warning…
Two days prior to the event, I happened to visit the owner of the field, James Hussey and his lovely wife Jill. They also own the field below Hackpen Hill that contains the huge 3D-cube. I went to see them with Paul Jacobs with the intention to present them our books and some money that Paul had collected in that formation. I have described this in a previous field report. When we arrived, we noticed Julian Richardson was there. This surprised me as I hardly ever run into Julian in the crop circles. James Hussey was holding a piece of paper in his hand which showed a diagram that both Paul and I recognised as the diamond that would appear in the field only hours later.

I think this July 25th, 2012 crop circle appearing below Windmill Hill near Avebury has something to do with the Marge beech grove — just playing along with all this madness now…

Talk
“Don’t take the ring Laura. Don’t take the ring.”
~ Agent Cooper from the movie Fire Walk with Me, warning Laura Palmer about Black Lodge trickery.
“Hucka D., I think Uffcott may be the place. The Place. It’s a UFO. It’s coded in the name. Remove every other letter, beginning with the first: UFO.
Hucka D.:
Actually that would be UFOT. How about UmapS?
bb:
Uffcott is where the 3 Sisters are equidistant. That’s where New Pietmond will be established.
Hucka D.:
Who is Laura? And who opposes deception?
bb:
Black Lodge?
Hucka D.:
bb:
Oh, I figured out something about the 3 sisters… probably related. Marge, Patty, Selma… M(NO)P(QR)S. Did you get that, Hucka?
Hucka D.:
Every third letter kept this time. Marge… Patty… Selma. So…
bb:
So that’s 4… 7… 10, like in the Tree of Life equivalent seraphim… sephirot I meant.
Hucka D.:
You are getting closer (!)
bb:
And so…
Hucka D.:
And so you search for the 11th, Daat, knowing that Tin S. Man knows. The Kniks. High time for another collage, baker b.
bb:
Highway?

Making a Point 02
I start out with some more Des Blenkinsoop photos that I could use for collage material.
The stacked rocks in front of Rockley Manor looks very similar to the ones I presently have in New Pietmond. Check here for a comparison. Oh and of course it’s called *Rock*ley Manor.
*
And then Des found some similarly stacked rock thingies in nearby Marlborough, although he doesn’t directly link the 2 in his accompanying text. I’m making the link here.
Now some more Google Earth images from the same general area:
2 men apparently attempting to steal one of the smaller stones of Avebury. Don’t think they’ll get too far.
What appears to be a (clothed/upright) red lion about to enter the Red Lion pub at Avebury. Marking her territory?
Details of the 3 Sisters…
Marge…
Patty…
Selma…
The Ridgeway runs alongside each one, and actually enters the fringe of Marge, while almost skirting the southeast side of Selma. Patty lies further away.
Found another Fuzzer House like earlier in Broad Hinton, this time near a village named Highway (Highway?) about 6 miles west of 3 Sisters.
Nearby, what appears to be a face on a building with one eye erased…
And, greeting me the instant I “teleported” into GoogleEarth tonight, a mystery triangle, again seen from the highway running through Highway. Did it “fuzz” the house? Did it steal the eye?
An overhead shot of Cresent House near Cherhill featured in the Baker Bloch in England exhibit. I was just following the highway down from Highway through Compton Bassett and re-found it… forgot it was in the area, actually.
And then almost across the street is some kind of waste area with another eye (center). Yes it’s staring at *you*. Is *this* Highway’s missing eye?
Crescent House and “eye”.

Three years on from SU1968 : Business park, Salisbury Road, Marlborough
The site is much more established, with many businesses and healthy looking bushes.
There are also these pointy things at the entrance. They don’t seem to do anything. Can a point be pointless[?] I guess so.

Making a Point
2 photos by Des Blenkinsopp up first. DB is another veteran picture snapper for the UK geograph project like Brian Robert Marshall discussed just below.
In the background are 2 of the “3 Sisters”, my affected name for a set of interesting round beech groves situated next to the Ridgeway (ancient Roman Road) near Hackpen Hill. The 3rd is hidden here behind the weird, pointy thing in the foreground (some kind of farm equipment) with what looks like eyes, even.
Is it The King again? Probably. In the same field this September appeared a man-made crop cicle called the Wedding Proposal.
Tranquility at an Uffcott pond…
Now some GoogleEarth images of 3 Sisters:
I use this first one as the base image of the collage “Corny Proposal,” part of an ongoing series as yet unnamed.
From east side of Uffcott, moving in closer now…
From the west side… compare this last picture with the 1st picture above (same road).
3 Sisters from above… they’re all circles and of the same size and even texture. I’m tempted to call them — from left to right — Marge, Patty, and Selma (?). Uffcott is probably the only population place where all 3 sisters give the appearance of being equidistant from each other. As the below photo shows, they’re not at all, with Patty being almost twice as close to Selma as to Marge. They’re all about 1/20th of a mile across, or a little less than 100 yards.
Relationship with Tree of Life even??
Fuzzer House 01
“Awww. Mess’n with me head, Butcher.”
“Blimey,” Butcher said back. He was opening a can of ten beans.
Fuzzer House looked larger from the inside. The Kniks, dressed up as Apricot-Bone, felt open and vulnerable. Like the door was open to the Broad Hinton house… and suddenly it was. Outside they saw a man walking a white dog, oblivious their exposed presence. Thank dog for the force field.
Jimmy stepped through the force field and out in the street. “Got a light, man?” he asked in his cocky Cockney way. For he desperately needed a fag.
“Blimey,” the man in the street walking his dog said. “Where’d you come from?”
“Where do you think mate?” Jimmy said, indicating with his head the Fuzzer House behind him. For his hands were busy lighting the fag after the man had handed him a cigarette lighter.
The man handed him a cigarette lighter.
“Blimey,” Butcher said back. The tin can of beans sealed itself up.
