Every winter’s day Simon Beck puts on his snowshoes and goes for a walk on the frozen lakes of Savoie, France. After 5-9 hours of wandering through on the snow, his footprints form clear geometrical shaped patterns as large as 3 football fields.The most interesting thing about those patterns is that they start to look 3D-ish from the bird’s eye view.
Simon started his snow artist’s career after he injured both legs while he was free riding. The only painless physical exercise he was able to do was slow walks on the clear snow. Creating patterns brought sense to his long and boring everyday walks. After that Simon started to take photos of his masterpieces, that made him famous on the interweb.
Just.. AMAZING! Great job!
Holy smokes, these are just amazing works of art. Talk about snowshoeing….
Love to see a video of the creation in progress. Has anyone filmed you?
I can see the pattern in some but others it is hard to tell they are snowshoe prints. They are most definitely a work of art. Can’t wait to see future pic’s. Thank you.
WOW – how do you establish such a large pattern? Mr. Beck -truly admired – Thank you for your artistry.
