Circles with 5 Points - Winter 2020

 January 2020 - Circles with 5 Points

This year I was ready, I had given thoughts to ways to do snowshoe art. I had found an iron pry bar in the shed and decided to use 50' of clothesline to accomplish the circles. (Click on any photo to enlarge)

I also created a Facebook page called Snowshoe Art by Snowdog. This has been the place where I have shared all news, photos, and videos.

At this point and for several years I have not given names to many of the snowshoe designs. Starting now (2024) I will give these designs a name.

In this design I used a pole, rope and counted steps. The points and half circles were added after the circle by dividing the circle in fifths with step count. This design was done adlib. If you look closely you will see one snow angel and the rest are mock snow angels; at 60 I soon discovered it was tough to get back up after laying down, especially with snowshoes on. Total step count was 16,000 steps or 7.3 miles.

As you can see in this final photo the sun was not out. Viewers stated that they liked seeing me in the photos to give the designs scale.

In this video I can see that I started using Litchi to program the flight path and photo and video designations for the drone.

This was my 3rd design, first in 2020.
