I meet this artist when he and I attended a lamaze birth training class over thirty years ago. I just thought about him and thought I would post his website. Being from Kansas, I was able to see a lot of his works. Here's a small sample:

So his earthworks are photos of his actual earthwork art. Those must be really hard to implement. The detail is just fantastic.

Yes, very difficult. I know he took a lot of measurements. I remember one that he did by painting large rocks used on the Kansas River dam in Lawrence, Kansas.

I just did a google search "Lawrence Journal world Stan Herd" and got some of his works. Here's one of Kamala Harris:

I believe that's him working on it with his tractor.

Historian seeks recognition for first English king https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c9d07w50e15o Somewhere I have a list of Anglo-Saxon, Wessex and English kings. Well there is nothing new there. Parts of Britain experienced tribal rivalries/conflicts as well as invasions by the Romans, Vikings/Norsemen, Angles, Saxons and Jutes, then Normans, and various monarchs/emperors declared war on other monarchs/emperors. Seems that behavior has not ceased.
