Simon Beck creates stunningly intricate patterns in the snow by walking (carefully) in raquettes à neige (snowshoes). “On average they take about 10 hours to really do it properly, some are a little unfinished, if my feet get cold or hurt too much,” Beck says. “The setting out is done using handheld orienteering compass and distance determination using pace counting or measuring tape. Curves are either judged or arcs of circle using a clothes line attached to an anchor at the centre. Designs are chosen from the world of geometry or ‘crop circles.'” Simon Beck snow art (via Juxtapoz)
