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.
...I like a touch of color!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness these are all so wonderful. Such detail.
ReplyDeleteThe last one is still a favorite I know it was meant to be something but I love the design as it is.

We know nothing of this international art here in Hawaii!
ReplyDeleteHow exquisite are those sculptures, William? Thank you for showing these. I love your header too. Jo
ReplyDeleteTo be honest: Guess here you´d need (cold temps, HAHA) and security! Bet people here would destroy these wonderful beauties!
ReplyDeleteYou live in a great, honest place.
Looks beautiful !
ReplyDeleteJust what we need, an ice sculpture to commemorate a paper cup.
ReplyDeleteNow how do people from the Philippines get involved in carving ice? Puts me in mind of the Jamaican bobsleigh team!

The ballerina is quite something!
ReplyDeleteThey are very pretty with the colored lights.
ReplyDeleteSo impressive, can't pick a favourite though, they are all equally spectacular.
ReplyDeleteI have never been to a Tim Horton's, but if I ever go back to Canada I will give it a try.
ReplyDeleteIncredible sculptures!
I wonder when one learns the art of ice carving in the Philippines.
ReplyDeleteThey go all out on the competitive sculptures.
ReplyDeleteThey are so pretty! I love them all.

I’m really amazed that they can carve the ice like that! The sculptures are so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThe rate of melt must be related to surface area.
