For the past six years, Finnish architect-designerPasi Widgrenhas carried out a special winter tradition.

This year, he felt inspired to draw a fox using just his feet and a snow shovel.

The end result is a surprisingly realistic, ephemeral piece ofsnow art.

In about four hours, the 295-foot drawing had taken shape and he was ready to photograph his work.

But just how does one draw in the snow?

In this case, Widgren sketched the outline by walking.

Then, he drew the rest with a snow shovel.

Luckily, none of that was necessary and Widgren had no issues in creating his fox.

Now, his annual tradition has become something to look forward to for everyone in the area.

The curiosity about his work is part of what makes it so special.

In December 2021, he used his footprints and a snow shovel to draw a 295-foot fox.

After four hours of work, he hiked to a nearby cliff to photograph his ephemeral drawing.
