Here we have a close up of the ice sculpture I left off with yesterday.
And a different angle for it.
And here we have that sculpture that held up quite well under the circumstances.
This one, however, had lost forearms before I'd photographed it this day. I went for closer details instead.
And this last one, which appeared to have lost some of its structure, but still looked interesting.
One last view, looking east. Tomorrow we'll take a look at them lit up at night.
...William, these sculptures are beautiful, it would be wonderful if they could last. Ottawa's tulips will soon take the stage.
ReplyDeleteThese are fabulous ! Really like the last one.

I wonder if anyone's ever made a time-lapse film of the statues disintegrating, it might be interesting. And then you could play it backwards! I'm amazed at what fine detail these sculptors achieve.
ReplyDeleteThey are... beautiful! So real, it´s even a very tad scary. (No)
ReplyDeleteThe scorpion is my favorite … I'm a scorpio! 🦂
ReplyDeleteI have only seen such a display once and it amazed me.
ReplyDeleteSo skilled how they can make those finely shaped sculptures. It is a pity that it will all turn into liquid form again.
ReplyDelete@Tom: soon enough!
ReplyDelete@Parsnip: I do too.
@John: it wouldn't surprise me.
@Iris: thank you.
@Ella: thanks.
@Janey: it amazes me.
@Jan: it is short lived.
How does the sculptor do the facial features like that? Amazing!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful! I had to look twice to see what that first photo is of. I like the ice flames. :-)
ReplyDeleteThey are still beautiful, William.
ReplyDeleteI think it's their fragility that makes them even more beautiful William 💙

ReplyDeleteIt is just magnificent! How do people do this?
ReplyDeleteWow! Looks like it's warming up in Ottawa. I heard on the news here tonight that an ice palace in Wisconsin closed today because of warm weather.
ReplyDeleteAmazing!
