Strange lines

[Timeless]

Not quite fields...if you look in the earlier pictures, you can see long straight lines in them vanishing into the distance.

I grabbed the camera after seeing just one of these lines, it looked VERY strange, it was far too straight, and seemed to almost ignore the terrain. It was also all alone.

Then I started seeing more lines, then the diamond came into view. Then the lines became more dense until they became that grid, then they started to become less and less again, until they stopped entirely.

The best theory I've heard so far is that maybe they are firebreaks cut into the landscape to prevent massive fires, and maybe that diamond shape is the result of a large fire, cut sharply at the edges where there may have been firebreaks...the grid seems a bit too fine for it to be firebreaks though I'd have thought...

Besides that, I've heard nothing that quite seems to fit...

Anyone else have ideas?
