Today I have more of the pairs ice sculptures in Confederation Park. These ones are sheltered, which keeps them out of the sun and the wind, which can have weathering on the ice. This way, the sculptures maintain a translucent quality throughout Winterlude, while sculptures out in the elements gradually take on an opaque quality.
Wow! That fisherman is wonderful, net and all!
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing what you can do with ice. To bad it will all disappear...
ReplyDeleteThe two faces intrigue me.
