This is the finished sculpture I showed you as a work in progress yesterday. The building that was asked about behind most of these shots is the Aberdeen Pavilion, which I've shown on previous occasions.
The sculptures have a different mood when they're photographed in the evening, with coloured light shining on them.
They do look fab lit up in the evening William. Such a different feel to the snow sculptures against the ice sculptures!
ReplyDeleteThe last sculpture seems happier than yesterday. (Kidding).
ReplyDeleteTomás.
First two don't look finished but the others look great in the light
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! The lighting is very pretty.
ReplyDeleteSo creative! I really like the bear family playing hockey.
ReplyDeleteWith the colored light, they are magical. No threat of melting?

Gorgeous with the lights! The bear family is my favourite.
ReplyDeleteThat looks complete different with the festive lights on.
ReplyDelete@Grace: I agree!
ReplyDelete@Tomas: thanks!
@Bill: it does have a rougher look.
@Denise: it does create a different effect.
@Halcyon: thanks!
@Janis: no, it would take quite a warm up.
@Nancy: thank you!
@Marianne: yes it does.
Incredible! The light sure does change things!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful! I love the night view with light very much!
ReplyDeleteUnder colored lights they must be stunning.
ReplyDeletemade me smile.
ReplyDeleteI love those night shots with the colored lights. It's like a fairytale.
ReplyDeleteThese are great! Would love to see them.
ReplyDeleteI like the frog :-)
ReplyDeleteIs that King Kong I see in the third photo?
ReplyDeleteYou really made me apprciate them by showing the unfinished ones first today, William
ReplyDeleteThe right light... and the things change completely.
ReplyDeleteI am quite sure I can do something like this...
ReplyDeleteNow the light brings out a different perspective. I prefer the lighted photos.
ReplyDelete@Lowell: it does!
ReplyDelete@Tamago: thanks!
@Bill: they are.
@Tex: me too.
@Jan: it is!
@Luis: it's a pleasure to show them.
@Gunn: you might be thinking that of King Kong!
@Sharon: yes it's Kong. At least a variation on him.
@Cloudia: thank you!
@Karl: they do, yes.
@VP: I can't!
@Red: I do too.
They are pretty lit up at night. You must have lots of snow there to use for the sculptures or is it trucked in.
ReplyDeleteStill looking pretty chilly, but at least it's pretty! I would love to see this in person. I'd stand the cold....
ReplyDeleteMy favourite is the light in the first shot!
ReplyDeleteVery cool at night.
ReplyDeleteTolle Skulpturen.
ReplyDeleteGruß
Noke
They look great in the light.
ReplyDeleteCool...in more ways than one!
ReplyDelete@Pamela: it's trucked in. They compress the snow in a facility so that it stays together, and it turns up at the sites in wooden crates that are either square or rectangular. The carvers remove the sides and go to work.
ReplyDelete@Pat: the cold can be a challenge for the photographer! Thick gloves, you can't work the camera. Thin gloves, the hands get cold...
@Ciel: thank you!
@RedPat: it is.
@Noke: thank you.
@Marleen: they do!
@Norma: indeed!
wow, neat seeing them all lighted up. that is such a neat time!! way cool. so cold today, the winds are wild. i have picked up so many sticks. i am totally wining the game. ha. ha! ( :
ReplyDeleteGrizzlies playing hockey. Ha! :-)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely William, they do take on a different life at night...
ReplyDeleteThe lighting makes it a fantasy land.
ReplyDeleteI do like the colored lighting.
ReplyDeleteCool lavendar lightning.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely to see the lighting on these temporal sculptures at night. Your header photo is fabulous.
ReplyDeleteThese look softer (of course) and more playful than the ones done in ice.
ReplyDeleteI just wish I wasn't an old fart, and could go in at night. The night driving, around here, is scary, though! Lovely photos.
ReplyDeleteThe colored lights make everything look so different! So pretty!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous series, William!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous series, William!
ReplyDelete@Beth: thank you!
ReplyDelete@Revrunner: quite different!
@Geoff: yes they do.
@Mari: it does.
@Lois: so do I.
@Janey: I think so too.
@Genie: thank you!
ReplyDelete@Kay: they do, yes.
