Today I'm starting my Winterlude series, which is probably going to take me into March. I'm starting with this work at City Hall. A team of carvers were just starting on erecting an ice sculpture when I stopped by. I'll show you the finished sculpture tomorrow.
Spread through various spots in the Glebe are snow sculptures, in the theme of snowmen. This one is outside Fifth Avenue Court; I showed you the crate at this scene a few days back. This one looks rather irritated, and oddly familiar.
This one's up the street, and looks rather abstract.
This one is outside Fourth Avenue Baptist Church.
This one is further down the street.
And this last one, being worked on and showing the final version, is at Lansdowne.
Oh I remember the post from last year.
ReplyDeleteThe abstract one is similar to one you posted last year.
This must be so much fun to walk around.
cheers, parsnip
These are fun. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThese pieces of ice art are awesome!
ReplyDeleteAre there always this many living beings that are carved? I seem to recall other things, like castles and things.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could thing of something to feature as a series. It is such a good idea.

ReplyDeleteThe happy sculptures are in the winterlude theme. I'm always amazed at the creations that are made.

ReplyDelete@Lowell: both the ice and the snow carvers really use a lot of different kinds of tools, some of which appear to be quite customized.
