Cold Beauty

More of the ice sculptors at work today. This to me is fun to watch in progress. By this stage in the game they're using hand blowers to blow away stray flakes off the sculptures.


Mermaids seem to be a perennial favourite for ice sculptors.

    I love the dragon/sea horses...I guess with bubbles they're sea horses. And the mermaid is riding another kind of dragon! What fun! They are doing an amazing job. I just hope your temps stay cold for them to survive!

    the first sculpture would be very difficult to make with the little ball like extensions.
