One Hour Carvings

Around the Colonel By Fountain in the park, a series of sculptures were done on the first weekend by the sculptors, single block sculptures done in an hour. I have more of these over the next two days.

  15. The artist must have in his mind what he's going to do if he's going to do this in one hour. the detail is amazing.

  16. I do love ice sculptures, I remember seeing a whole festival in Germany a few years ago. The cold played havoc with my camera batteries.

  27. That's a lot of amazing art to create in an hour! But considering how cold it is, and how cold the medium is, I suppose speed is not a bad idea.
