Today I conclude my Winterlude series for the year with the rest of these pairs ice sculptures lit up in the evening. I do have some material, however, for a couple of theme days down the line, including April, which happens to be One Colour- a reminder to my fellow members of City Daily Photo.
These are amazing ice works with such an unbelievably fragile appearance.
