Artwork by Sonja Hinrichsen

Snow Drawings, Rabbit Ears Pass, CO, Sunday Jan. 29, 2012

This large-scale Snow Drawing piece was created with the generous assistance of 5 volunteers from Steambaot Springs and Hayden, Colorado. The photos were taken during a flyover in local pilot Jack Dysart’s Cessna aircraft.

    So beautiful!
    4 of us went up to the pass yesterday to see the work and then took a snow shoe on the Walton Loop. We stopped in the meadows and made our own snow art – spirals, loops,question marks and zigzag trees.
    I especially loved seeing the fresh work and then the older work that was being covered over by the wind. A true practice of Impermanence. Thank you for the inspiration!

The exceptional coordination and extremely temporary nature of the art make it even more inspired.
