I have more of the international ice sculptures on Sparks Street during Winterlude. Of the ones done during the first weekend of the festival, this one held up the best.
This one, however, lost arms along the way.
This one held up better.
Here we have a view from the other side of the sculpture in my third shot. I'll pick up with this tomorrow.
...these look like fragile glass, they are amazing!
ReplyDeleteThis form appeals to a unique sort of artist, knowing how frail and transient the work is.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous ice sculptures!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful and so fragile.
ReplyDeleteThe ballerina is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWonderful, they are great artists !
ReplyDeleteHello, beautiful! They do look fragile! Enjoy your day, wishing you a happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteThose are really artistic artworks. The ballerina looks beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThe artistry continues to inspire
ReplyDelete@Tom: they are.
ReplyDelete@Kay: true.
@Lady Fi: indeed.
@Nancy: thank you.
@Ella: very much so.
@Karl: they are.
@Eileen: thanks.
@Marianne: thank you.
@David: definitely.
The ballerina is exquisite William, surprised that being so delicate she is losing up so well ✨
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful, and those fragile arms would of course be the first to go.
ReplyDeleteDespite their fragility, they all still look surprisingly beautiful and sleek.
ReplyDeleteThat's sad when they melt !
ReplyDeleteI do like seeing their fragility as they inevitably melt and break. They show much better (to my mind from your photos) against the dark buildings than in those tents with all the light sparkling off them. The ballerina on the globe is stunning in her frail state. I dare say the artists will prefer the tents again, so their works will last a bit longer...
ReplyDeleteIt is surprising that the ballerina held up so well!
ReplyDeleteThat ballerina is quite spectacular!
ReplyDeletethey are awesome sculptures and sweet photos ^_^

The ballerina is very sweet although I suspect the icicles under her arms were additions of nature, not the artist!
ReplyDeleteYour photos are excellent and enable me to share in the joy of seeing these fragile sculptures.
ReplyDeleteFragile or not, these are just beautiful !

That fourth one is spectacular!
ReplyDeletesuch flow! and that penultimate 'flask' is intriguing!
ReplyDelete@Grace: I liked that ballerina.
ReplyDelete@Gattina: in the past before they were using shelters, horizontal surface sort of sculptures could be quite vulnerable to collapses. I remember seeing a biplane sculpture lose its wings one day.
@Jan: they do!
@Gattina: it is.
@Barbara: personally I'd prefer the tents.
@RedPat: it is indeed.
@Sharon: yes she is.
@Carol: thank you.
@Jeanie: at least some of them.
@Fun60: thank you!
@Parsnip: they are.
@Marie: I agree.
@Cloudia: thanks!
Just amazing.
ReplyDeleteThose are lovely, even with the ice cycles coming off the woman's arm. Tweeted.
ReplyDeleteFragile and beautiful, the ballerina is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
They are amazing!
ReplyDeleteThis is fun' One expects the loss of limbs, for instance, but the stalactites and stalagmites were not expected.
ReplyDeleteAmazing! I look at your photographs and fear the ice will break they are so real.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe how totally graceful they are. Must be exciting to see them in person!
ReplyDelete@Revrunner: it is.
ReplyDelete@Mari: thank you.
@Jan: thanks!
@Jennifer: indeed.
@Joanne: they were photogenic.
@Maywyn: thanks!
@Susie: it is.
Incredible, how talented the people are who create these.
ReplyDeleteThat's true.
