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.
Its a race against the tide for this artist who spends hours carving intricate artworks in the sand - only for them to be washed away by the sea just hours later. The 40-year-old from San Francisco said he has been using the beach as his canvas for the last 12 years and his artwork was originally inspired by the crop circles phenomenon in the UK.
