Today we start with more of the single block ice sculptures in Confederation Park.
These two were taken on the final weekend of Winterlude. Milder temperatures had rendered outdoor sculptures opaque.
I finish for today with two more looks at the Olympic themed sculptures. Tomorrow we head over to the solo and pairs competitive sculptures to see them by night.
These are fun to see!
ReplyDeleteThe thing that strikes me is that there's not any room for error when working with a large single block of ice. If you screw up, you're done and have to start over with a new block of ice. So, that makes these sculptures even more impressive!
ReplyDeleteMais uma bela série de nocturnos.
ReplyDeleteUm abraço e boa semana.

Some sculptures with lots of detail and some are very plane.
ReplyDeleteIs the second one a dragon? Yeahh... I think it's a dragon. It's my favourite.
ReplyDeleteThat last one is pretty spectacular.
ReplyDeleteThose really are beauties. Love the brightness, too.

ReplyDeleteIt is just incredible what they can do with ice!

ReplyDeleteThe color lighting turns it into a fairyland.
ReplyDeleteAgain I'm so taken how well this medium lends itself to colored lights. So striking!
ReplyDeleteThey look amazing lit up like this at night!
ReplyDeleteIs the third one a T-Rex?
