For the sixth year in a row, a building designer in Finland has created a very large work of art on a frozen lake.On Lake Pitkajarvi, north of Helsinki, Pasi Widgren made an image of a fox that measures 90 meters from head to tail.He said he hopes the artwork will "make people happy" and move them to go for a walk in what he called, "beautiful nature."The 40-year-old Widgren lives near the city of Lahti, about a 90 minute drive northeast of the lake.He uses a shovel to create the artworks on ice.They melt from sight over time or disappear under snow.Widgren made his first ice picture in the winter of 2016.The artist recently told The Associated Press that the idea to make such pieces came to him suddenly."I realized I may have a special ability of coordination to do this," Widgren said.He visited Lake Pitkajarvi on December 4.He tested the thickness of the ice as soon as he arrived to make sure it was strong enough to walk and work on.At 10-15 centimeters thick, it was.
