Huge, intricate, geometric designs made by walking in the snow
These amazing displays are the result of Simon Beck wearing his snow shoes and walking around.
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.
You can see along the top of this last image that he tried to promote his Facebook page, but the shadows conspired against him. So we’ll just link it, instead: Visit Simon Beck’s page for more photos and info about his work.

Simon Beck is clearly a liar. These designs were definitely not made by something as simple as a man walking in snowshoes, but were obviously made by beings from another planet that couldn’t find any available crops to draw these circles into.
Hee hee. ;-)
You stole my joke. I was going to post: Putting crop circles to shame. Bad on you.
I bet he gets really pissed if a deer walks through.
How? HOW??
Aliens, definitely aliens. JOKES!!!
What’s hard for me to understand is how he manages to “conceptualize” these without having a bird’s eye view of what he’s creating. I know me…I’m make a misstep, sit down and try to brush it over/camouflage my mistake. These are fabulous.
Worlds slowest but largest spirograph. Kudos!
Gorgeous! Winter crop circles! Would make a great pattern for a sweater or some other knitted item, like a scarf…

Wow. Wow. He must sketch these out before he walks them. Incredible.
Looking at the 3rd picture down does anyone else have a sudden urge to play Q*Bert? or am I showing my age?
