Oh my, those are spectacular. Must have been challenging to get all of that detail.


I like the effect the lights have - adds a twinkling feeling.

I wonder if our ice sculptures are still on display - the festival happened the week it was -30C!

Man, I hate the cold weather, but this stuff is really beautiful. You did a great job capturing them. I like this one the best:

These are wonderful. I have seen these done on tv. It is really cool to watch them being carved.

Thanks folks.

I wasn't there when they were carving. The bad news is, 36 degrees today,
40 tomorrow. It's a shame all that hard work for only a couple day showing.

For more pics, you can see them here:

This coming from a person in Kentucky seems to strike me as quite funny:roflJust not used to all that snow
One or two inches here and you will see people freeking out:rofl

Also you must realize that I work for a airport and when it snows I am at work till everything is up and running again.
Sometimes I don't go home for a week or more.
But I know it does sond funny coming from a Kentuckian:D

see you
