Two more ice sculptures from Confederation Park today. I mentioned in an earlier post about the carvers from Yakutzk. There were actually two teams from that Siberian city, but I'm reasonably sure that the pic I showed you in that post features this first sculpture as their final work. It's a boy standing on a galloping horse, with two other horses close by.
I decided to take two shots with a slightly different angle.
I like the delicate attention to detail by the carvers on this sculpture.
That's pure delight and makes me think of Mongolia!
ReplyDeleteThese are just stunning.

ReplyDeleteSo beautiful and delicate.
ReplyDeleteIncredibly detailed! All the way from Siberia? I'm impressed!
ReplyDeleteThis stuff just blows me away. I cannot comprehend how someone can do it...especially with ice!
ReplyDelete@Ciel: I also thought of Mongolia with that sculpture.
ReplyDelete@Stuart: yes they are.
@Denise: you're welcome!
@Luis: delicate's an understatement!
@EG: yes, all the way from Siberia. At least there it's cold enough to practice!
@Lowell: it truly is an art form.
Those are some intricate ice carvings!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, how long can these sculptures last?
ReplyDeleteHow they portray such movement in a chunk of ice is beyond me!

Very impressive!
ReplyDeleteLove those incredible galloping horses, I wonder how long these sculptors take to get their skills to such a level - so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThat is amazing.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I can't imagine someone with the patience to do this, knowing it is so temporary!
ReplyDeleteThese sculptures are so detailed. I can't imagine doing one knowing that it's only temporary. Good on those artists for creating these works!
