Mermaids In Vivid Colour
The lights that are used at night on the ice sculptures in Confederation Park change colours gradually, lingering perhaps thirty seconds before transitioning into the next hue. Here we have the two mermaid statues in different colours.
Very cool, William! Literally. Also artistically. I've always like mermaids and have always seen them as having two parts. Guess which part I liked best! :)
The mermaids are fabulous William, I think I like them best simply because they are made from water and live in water... what do you mean mermaids aren't real :)
Wow.
ReplyDeleteGood job capturing the colors! Bright!
ReplyDeleteThe lights are a great idea to draw the crowds back. These are almost more beautiful in technicolor!
ReplyDeleteOoo I love the mermaid in green. Other colors pretty too. Great effects. MB
ReplyDeleteThe red is waking me up!:-)
ReplyDeleteThey are even more beautiful by night.
ReplyDeleteWhat a grand festival this is
ReplyDeleteNow those are vivid colors !

ReplyDeleteGorgeous way to show them off, I like how that red just glows!
ReplyDeleteJane: I still really like the mermaid in the 4th picture. Love that "Botticelli" hair!
ReplyDeletePretty ! I like your header photo ! Thanks for sharing . Have a good day !
ReplyDeletePersonally speaking,. the colors seem a bot harsh and detracted from these beautiful ice sculptures; guess I am more of a purist.
ReplyDeleteJust wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThose look like some very tricky ice sculptures to carve!
ReplyDeleteoh i love those colors!!

ReplyDeleteIt's amazing how different they can look with different colors shining on them.
ReplyDeleteWonderful colours, I think the first one is favourite today.
ReplyDelete@Lowell: there's a link I'll have to add to tomorrow's blog on this subject!
ReplyDelete@LondonLulu: some of these I capture just at their greatest intensity.

@Country Gal: thanks!
@Beatrice: well, there's nothing wrong with being a purist.
@Luis: thanks!
@Furry Gnome: indeed. One mistake, and there she goes...
@Tanya: more of that tomorrow!
ReplyDelete@Grace: no, they're not real!
@Sharon: that's what I like about the differing lights.
@Jan: thank you.
I hope they have waterproof lighting. Very lovely!
ReplyDeleteThe same sculptures in different colours, cool !
ReplyDeleteI especially like the mermaid coloured green. What fun to see the other colours too, though.
ReplyDeleteInteresting to see how the colour changes the whole effect of the piece.
ReplyDeleteAriel never looked so good!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! Love the colors on ice!
ReplyDeleteOh my word. Those are amazing!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome, William. I love the colours!
ReplyDelete@Eve: the light placement tends to be below or above or behind... not inside the ice!
ReplyDelete@Karl: thank you!
@EG: much more of that to come.
@RedPat: yes, it does change the mood of a sculpture.
@Norma: now where's that nasty sea witch?
@Cheryl: thank you!
@Krisztina: they are.
