It was almost too easy to ignore this little work of dirt art while walking along the Cam in Cambridge, England, but as I stepped closer I gained a new appreciation for the time and effort it must have taken someone to etch this from soil. Or had they used some other type of substance which attracted the soil? It definitely wasn't charcoal. In any case, it made me stop to consider the possibilities and implications of biodegradable art and their fleeting nature. Only a photo has the ability to make this art work live on indefinitely.
