An architect-designer in southern Finland has returned to a frozen lake with a snow shovel to draw a large animal on the ice for the sixth year in a row, creating an artwork that he hopes will 'make people happy and encourage them to go out to hike in a beautiful nature'.
On December 4, Pasi Widgren drew a fox that measures about 90m (295ft) on Lake Pitkajarvi, north of Helsinki.
In previous years, he used a shovel to sketch a bear and an owl, always using the same lake as his canvas.
Widgren has drawn animals on local lakes every winter since 2016 near his home in a village not far from Lahti, a town of 120,000. The drawings disappear when more snow falls or when the ice melts.
Widgren revealed that he had ice awls around his neck in case the ice cracked and he needed to rescue himself, adding: 'Then I sketched the contours of the figure by walking and thinking it to match my image of fox at the same time and then I started to "draw" by using (the) snow shovel.'
Four hours later, Widgren was done.
He said: 'I walked to the top of the cliffs 45m (about 150ft) above the lake to look at the end result, drank coffee from my thermos bottle and took some photos and videos as a memory of doing this.'
