Here we have the World War One Centennial ice sculpture fully lit.
It's a stark contrast to yesterday's capture of the sculpture in daylight.
The couple, of course, is the focal point of the entire display.
Not that far off in the park, the campfire caught my eye that evening. Numerous people were sitting around it, and I wondered what might come up with a shot. The flame dominates the image.
Love the light-ups.
ReplyDeleteThey are really nice with the lights!
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely photos.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea to light them up.
cheers, parsnip
Thanks for your recent comments on my photoblog. I really like these ice sculptures and would love to sit and watch one being made, but that would be a very cold experience.... ;)
ReplyDeleteThat's fantastic. It makes the details pop out.
ReplyDeleteWow, those are magnificent ice sculptures. The fire shot is pretty cool too. I think the way the fire dominates the image leaving all but the hands of the people in shadow gives the image a rather dramatic appeal.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, the coloured lighting makes it look like a fairytale.
ReplyDeleteoh wow, they are beautiful lit up like that!
ReplyDeleteWhisk: thank you.
ReplyDeleteLinda: I have always thought so.
Parsnip: it creates such a different mood.
Bibi: it can be very cold indeed!
Ciel: yes it does.
Nita: thank you!
Jan: thanks!
Tanya: that seems to be the consensus.
The lights are an added bonus!
ReplyDeleteIt looks a great night to be wandering among the sculptures, the fire must've been magic!
ReplyDeleteThey look amazing at night.
ReplyDeleteThey DO look different with the lighting.

Now those are neat pictures! The lighting makes such a difference.
ReplyDeleteThe lighting really brings the sculptures to life. Kind of like the inner "light" that sometimes shines through a person's personality. The campfire brings back all kinds of good memories of my youth and beyond! Our daughter and husband in the Colorado mountains still have a campfire for the locals every Saturday evening.
ReplyDeleteThose ice sculptures do look magical when lit up at night.
ReplyDeleteI really like that last shot! It's good to experiment.
ReplyDelete@EG: I rather prefer the sculptures lit up!
ReplyDelete@LondonLulu: and warm too!
@Luis: they really draw a lot of attention in the evenings.
@Jane and Chris: more of that to come.
@Furry Gnome: and the lighting also changes gradually with these things.
@Lowell: I've always enjoyed a good campfire. Some marshmallows make it all the better!
@Sharon: yes they do.
@Norma: it certainly is good to do that.
The lights add a whole new dimension to the sculptures. Just beautiful !
ReplyDeleteCan I say the same as all the others?
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree with all !
This looks so festive! The lights add so much!
ReplyDeleteMust be even more amazing to see all the different colored lights at night.
ReplyDeleteThey did a great job lighting that piece, William!
ReplyDelete@Stuart: more of that to come.
ReplyDelete@Karl: that seems to be the consensus.
@Cheryl: I'm glad you think so.
@Denise: yes, it is.
@RedPat: yes, it's very well done.
I'll bet this was an enjoyable place to visit at all times.
ReplyDeleteIt is!
DeleteI was going to say the same thing as Lowell. The lighting does bring them to life. The colors are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI think so too.
DeleteI can't believe how many sculptures they display. They're all so amazing.
ReplyDeleteThat they are.
DeleteLovely sculpture! I can never decide if I like the colored lights or natural sunlight best.
ReplyDeleteI like them lit up.
