This is an aerial view of the Heartland Maize in Bowling Green, a human labyrinth etched into a five-acre field. The Maze, owned by Heartland Events LLC and operated by AG Outdoor World, Inc., was designed by Brett Herbst, the world's leading designer of 1,500 + corn mazes. The maze opened Oct. 12 and will run through Nov. 17, 2012.
