"living works of art"

Crop mazes have been used for ceremonial purposes for centuries. The modern version sprouted in the early 1990s thanks to British maze-developer Adrian Fisher, who is credited with creating the first corn maze in Pennsylvania. After that, the race was on to create the biggest, strangest or scariest labyrinth. The 10.2-acre corn maze above at 1 Fun Farm in Farmland, Indiana, zigzags for more than two miles.

From the ground, maze-travelers see a seemingly endless series of twisting paths with an occasional clue along the way. But from the air, it's clear these mazes are living works of art.
