[glow=red,2,300]Glorious Win...[/glow]
Let's start this off with a amazing win by a father who has
stepped up to the plate. This is perfect in every way.
I want to meet those folks saying this is abuse. Seriously?
Abuse? How?

[glow=red,2,300]Snow Patterns
HTML http://www.mymodernmet.com/profiles/blogs/simon-beck-snow-art[/glow]
[quote]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![/quote]

That looks AWESOME! Personally, I would cut out the patterns and
shove them into my refrigerator to preserve them.

Today seems to have to have some good upbeat stories. This is
one of 'em. The commentors tend to lean towards goodness that a
whole slew of folks are much better off today, than just one.
I love this persons comment...
