A Man Takes A Single Rake to The Beach. And When You Zoom OutAnd See It Mind BLOWN.

January 29, 2014Entertainment

If you live in San Francisco, California, then you may be lucky enough to come across the art ofAndres Amador.He doesnt paint or sculpt. He prefers amedium that is temporary but absolutely beautiful: a sandy beach at low tide. He uses a rake to create works of art that can be bigger than 100,000 sq. ft.

He spends hours creating these intricate masterpieces, knowing that the tide will soon come in and wash away his work forever.

For Andres, his art is more about the process and less about the result.

He knows that it will all be temporary.

While making his beach mural explorations, he uses a rope as a guide so that he can make the geometric patterns.

According to Andres, it only takes a couple of hours once the tide is low enough to create the designs.

Andres creations are simply stunning and knowing that these delicate creations are temporary somehow makes them even more beautiful.

Youll Have No Idea What Youre Seeing In These 20 Photos. But Look ALittle CloserJanuary 30, 2014Entertainment

There are many animals that are natural masters of disguise, camouflaging themselves perfectly in the world. Look around you. There could be little critters

all around you, you just cant tell. Most animals are camouflaged to either protect themselves from predators or help them hunt. Either way, the name of the

game is survival

And they are reallygood at this game.

Okay, maybe the hedgehog needs to do a little camouflaging homework, but he definitely still wins in the cute category.
