In 2019, the main ice sculptures were moved out to the Byward Market area, and I stopped by one evening during Winterlude and caught carvers putting the finishing touches on their works.
Of course the Ice Hogs were available for photo ops.
Today I leave off with these.
So much fun for photographers!
ReplyDeleteThis is a really nice insight into the work of the ice carvers, William.
ReplyDeleteDebe ser muy interesante verlos trabajar, en pleno proceso de su creación.
ReplyDeleteGreat captures of the artists at work, the ice sculptures are amazing.
ReplyDeleteTake care, enjoy your day!
That would be a great location.
ReplyDeleteI guess carving at night when the temperature is at its lowest, and there is no danger if the sun's rays softening the surface is the most efficient time of all.
ReplyDeleteIt must be a fun challenge to take pics like that! Though... 13C make me happy ;-) It´s a beginning...
ReplyDelete...cold and beautiful work.
ReplyDeleteOh my...that first one...how do people do these impossible things?
ReplyDeleteAmazing how those curls are carved in the first sculpture.
ReplyDeleteI hope you are doing well. I had an anxiety attack Tuesday. No fun.
