Man Walks All Day to Create Spectacular Snow Patterns

I love to occasionally post something that appeals to my artistic senses. This is a beautiful example of what the human mind inspired by natural bounty can do. Momma Cha

Artist Simon Beck must really love the cold weather! Along the frozen lakes of Savoie, France, he spends days plodding through the snow in raquettes (snowshoes), creating these sensational patterns of snow art. Working for 5-9 hours a day, each final piece is typically the size of three soccer fields! The geometric forms range in mathematical patterns and shapes that create stunning, sometimes 3D, designs when viewed from higher levels.

How long these magnificent geometric forms survive is completely dependent on the weather. Beck designs and redesigns the patterns as new snow falls, sometimes unable to finish a piece due to significant overnight accumulations. Interestingly enough, he said, ‘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, and I am considering buying a better camera. Spectacular art for the sake of exercise!

[Translation] 120424 Tohoshinki, Sing Their Hearts Out During The Finale Of Their Nationwide Tour

[Trans] 120424 Tohoshinki, Sing Their Hearts Out During The Finale Of Their Nationwide Tour

Popular male duo, Tohoshinki, held the finale of their tour, which attracted 550,000 audiences, at the Kyocera Dome Osaka on 23 April.

This is their first nationwide tour since the duo restarted activities in Japan in January 2011. Yunho (26) and Changmin (24) said, “As this is the finale, we will be even more passionate than usual, and give it all we have!” and showcased their explosive power from the first song onwards. As the fans were extremely passionate, Changmin said, “Everyone is too hyped up. It’s noisy!”, making the entire venue burst out in laughter. In addition, there was also an incident where Changmin had a cramp in his left foot during an intense dance track. The duo performed 25 songs, including their new single “Still”, passionately in front of an audience of 45,000.

Changmin expressed his gratitude to the fans again, “Today is the finale, but it became a time when we really feel how fortunate we are.” Yunho, who teared during the Tokyo Dome concert on 15 April as he was so overcome with emotions, gave a message to the fans which also sounded like something he was saying to himself. “It is a pity (that it is the end), but it’s alright! Because we can meet again.” The emotions upon the ending of the tour which brought 550,00 people together cannot be expressed in words. The fanclub event for 100,000 people will begin at the end of June.
