Artist Simon Beck spends five to nine hours a day walking the snow in snowshoes to create huge sized patterns of snow art. He designs and redesigns the patterns as new snow falls, sometimes unable to finish a piece due to severe snow fall.

“The main reason for making them was because I can no longer run properly due to problems with my feet, so plodding about on level snow is the least painful way of getting exercise. Gradually, the reason has become photographing them.”
