I left off yesterday with this large ice sculpture commemorating the centennial of the beginning of the First World War. Here it is lit up. Spotlights slowly shift colours on ice sculptures at night, creating a magical effect.
Each year mermaids are a common theme for ice sculptors. Here we've got two of them lit up in shifting colours.
Close by, other sculptures bathed in light.
Even the small ones outside got lit up. We'll pick up here tomorrow with this look back at 2014.
Wow, that must be a sparkly sight!
ReplyDeleteA very cool way to display someone's talent.
ReplyDeleteEspecially the train and the people around it are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThese really are mesmerising.
ReplyDeleteI can barely chip the ice off my windshield!
ReplyDeleteThe mermaids are beuytiful, but the train scene is ... much more interesting.

Do you ever play Animal Crossing? These remind me of the ice furniture you can make with snowflakes. It lights up like this. If you have never played it you have no idea what I mean...😂

ReplyDeleteIt is amazing what they can do with ice. Real talent.
