Continuing this look back at Winterlude 2017, here are more of the ice sculptures.
In the Byward Market that year, a large snow sculpture had been created with some of the Fathers of Confederation. At left is Louis Riel in profile; the Metis leader was hung for treason for his part in leading the western rebellions, but is considered the founder of Manitoba today. Our first prime minister, John A. Macdonald is to his right, followed by Thomas D'Arcy McGee, George Brown, and George-Etienne Cartier.
Beautiful small and big ice sculptures by talented sculptors.

Thank you.
DeleteThe Fathers of Confederation is stunning to see.
ReplyDeleteIt was well done.
DeleteAbsolutely wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI think so!
DeleteMore fantastic sculptures. I did love the merry-go-round horses. Tweeted.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteThat's purely amazing! What talent. And there is something so wonderfully Zen (or metaphorical) about the artists who do such beautiful work to honor and enjoy "for the moment" instead of wanting their work to remain through the ages.
ReplyDeleteI agree.
DeleteThank you for all these lovely photographs.
ReplyDeleteBut I thought The Fathers of Confederation is quite stunning.
All the best Jan
