American artist Andres Amador spends hours painstakingly carving
giant works of art on to beach shores,
some creations spanning up to 300 x 500
feet. He illustrates each pattern in a
sketchbook before re-creating the grand
design in the sand using nothing more
than a garden rake. With the help of
Google Earth to pick out the best
beaches for his designs, Amador then
patiently waits for a full moon to
ensure tides are low enough for him to
complete his design before it is washed
away by the sea. See more earthscapes by Andres Amador

Magnifique ; incroyable ; sublime ; splendide !
Andres Amador, un très grand artiste qui dessine sans avoir une vue d'ensemble de son oeuvre avant de la dessine autrement que sur papier, ce qui demande en plus d'une création artistique accrue, des capacités intellectuelles peux communes.
Des oeuvres temporaires puisqu'elles disparaissent avec la marée, plus vite donc encore que les dessinateurs sur asphalte.
Great ; incredible; inbelievable; amazing!
Andres Amador, an exceptional artist who draws without having an overview of its work arts before of draws it than whom on paper, what asks besides a greater artistic creation, intellectual abilities.
Temporary works arts because they disappear with the sea tide, faster thus still than the artists draftsmen on asphalt.
Que la vie vous berce.
