Majestic Ice

 Picking up where I left off yesterday.

This one was my favourite of the ice sculptures.

And we come back to the last one of the ice sculptures. Tomorrow we begin to close down this series with one last visit to the Rideau Canal skateway.

In The Spotlight

 I was delighted to get these shots in during this visit.

For today, leaving things off with this sculpture and its depiction of a dog team.

Bathed In Colour

 It was an amazing year for ice sculptures.

During this trip, I was a bit further back than I would have liked- the formal walkway was closed off on a non-event night, with security guards around, so you couldn't just skip on over. However, it didn't hinder taking photographs. And they looked so good under the coloured lights.

We'll carry on here tomorrow. Leaving off with this beaver at the base of a sculpture.

Magic In The Night

 More from where I left off last night in Confederation Park.

Another art installation caught my eye. Aurora (A Long Story XI) by Lauren Pirie uses soft foam arms wrapped around each other. Lit up at night, it looked angelic.

I continued on.

Two more of the park's military monuments. The newest one honours animals in war. Beside it is a cenotaph honouring those who fought and died in the South African War.

A different look at this ice sculpture I've already shown you, backed by the Canadian Museum of Nature, depicting the Arctic eider duck. The museum has a special exhibit going on that I'll have to go see.

I was closer to the main sculptures at this point.
