It’s just over one month since the 2022 World Cup came to a thrilling conclusion in Qatar as Argentina emerged victorious over France amid scenes of jubilation that echoed around the globe.
Such was the momentous nature of watching Lionel Messi finally hoist the most prestigious prize in football that a rush began to pay homage to the Argentina captain, with fans from all four corners of the world offering tribute in any way they could.
One of the most extraordinary tributes appeared recently in the corn fields of Los Condores in central Cordoba, Argentina, where a farmer used his crops to create a gigantic portrait of his country’s World Cup-winning hero.
Farmer Maximiliano Spinazze used an algorithm to calculate where his seeds would need to be planted in order to produce an image of Messi’s face on his land using a clever geocoding tool that works out precisely how many seeds per square foot are required to do so.
