Secrets

Another pair of sculptures today. This first one I showed you several posts ago, when the carvers were just getting started. It's the work of an American and Peruvian duo, depicting a sunken plane and the wildlife around it.


This second one is from the other team from Yakutzk, Siberia. It uses fishing as its theme.


I wanted a closeup on the face of the old fisherman.

  1. You have done well with getting these photos. It must have been challenging to get the details.

  2. The fisherman is fantastic. The plane is suprising, reminds me of the gruesome story of a plane that crashed in the Andes.

  9. As always, these ice sculptures are so amazing, not only for the final creation but also for the skill involved. I was wondering if yiu had considered making the photos a bit larger within the post to better showcase them.

    @Luis: the skills of the carvers astonishes me.

    @Beatrice: I usually set my pics to large when I'm putting them together. I'll experiment with a shot for tomorrow by upping that one size, see what that does.

    @LondonLulu: The carvers really brought character into that old man's face.

    @Cheryl: and these carvers are very talented.

  15. All the sculptures you've show are amazing William, so much work and effort.. you really have to appreciate then while they're there.
    I know what you mean about missing THAT shot.. when I was walking along the coast road a while back there was a girl sitting on the wall with this huge dog standing on its hind legs on the wall both looking at the view.. I still regret not taking that shot :)
