I thought of this. I make a big circle here. A squirrel makes a smaller circle over there or down there. The planes could be parallel. In this case, I don't think that the hunter has gone around the squirrel.

But the graphic and the commonsense illustration seemed to give the impression that both the hunter and the squirrel were at about the same height above the ground, and thus, in the same plane.
