Colours

Tim Hortons is one of the usual corporate sponsors for Winterlude, and this year on Sparks Street, an ice sculpture included a giant coffee cup.


This first sculpture of the competitive works was done by two Latvian carvers.


This one, which suffered some damage due to exposure, was done by a Russian duo.


This is the work of a pair of carvers from the Philippines.


Two French sculptors were behind this.


And this was the work of a sculptor from France and a sculptor from Poland. More from here tomorrow.

    The last one is still a favorite I know it was meant to be something but I love the design as it is.

  19. The rate of melt must be related to surface area.
