An incredible feet! Beautiful patterns are created by artists walking across Finnish golf course in snowshoes
- The breathtaking piece on Lofkulla golf course was created by 11 snowshoe-clad volunteers in Finland
- They created a series of complex geometric patterns with their footprints in Espoo, near to capital Helsinki
- Piece, designed by local amateur artist Janne Pyykko, depicts star-like figure surrounded by snowflakes
- The footprint snow drawing was completed over two days and measures about 525 feet in diameter

A band of volunteers created an incredible 500-foot snow drawing using their footprints in Finland.
The breathtaking piece was created by 11 snowshoe-clad volunteers who stamped a series of complex geometric patterns on Lofkulla golf course in Espoo, near to the capital Helsinki.
The piece – designed by local amateur artist Janne Pyykko – depicts a star-like central figure surrounded by six huge snowflakes.
The artwork was completed over two days and measures about 525 feet in diameter.
It is thought to be the largest snow drawing ever made in the Nordic country.

Mr Pyykko said he is inspired by visual effects and has earlier created smaller snow illustrations by himself.
His latest piece was ‘both a social challenge and a visual challenge’, Mr Pyykko said, as he had to coordinate and give instruction to his team of artists.
It was based on a based on a strict geometrical computer design and was carried out using string to map out the shape.

On the inspiration behind the shapes (pictured) he chose, Mr Pyykko said: ‘There is something in the human brain that likes the round form’
The drawing is best observed from the air, as a series of drone images captured its intricate design (part of it, pictured)
He noted that mapping out the patterns for volunteers to follow within a set area of the Lofkulla golf course required a great deal of ground planning

The work (pictured) was designed to be temporary, lasting only until the next snowfall or heavy winds erase the footprints
