Continuing where I left off yesterday, here was another one of the large sculptures in Confederation Park for Winterlude 2018.
A couple of days back I showed you the harness racing ice sculpture. Accompanying it was a wall with photos embedded into it. One of them featured harness racing on the Rideau Canal, an event of Winterlude in the early years.
Another photo featured harness racers meeting with the Prime Minister, Pierre Trudeau, who had brought his three sons along. Our current Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, was but a boy at the time.
Some of the standalone ice sculptures in the park.
One of the big sculptures was made for the Winter Olympics that year, held in South Korea, with the mascots incorporated into the ice.
A CBC banner for the Olympics was encased into ice here, with the Lord Elgin Hotel and the Aboriginal Veterans Monument in the background.
I close off today with this set of sculptures.
The ice bear looks right at home.

Love the ice sculptures! Very cool.
ReplyDeleteI love that butterfly!
ReplyDeleteI looked at three of your posts and it seems like every one of them has the most creative sculptures that could ever be -- until you see the next one. It amazes me what the artists come up with in the first place and then how beautifully they carry out the ideas. I can't imagine how I could pick a favorite, every one of them is wonderful. I love the animals in this one and the historical photos aencased in the sculptures -- and (I think in the last post or the one before) the harness race chariot itself .... Wonderful. I hope this event will be held again maybe next year -- meanwhile it is good that you have such a great photo record.
ReplyDeleteThe embedded photos are fantastic to see.
ReplyDeleteI like those photos n the ice.
