The Imagination

 The building of ice sculptures does draw a lot of attention from visitors.


Just down the street, a steel drum band was playing.


And for today I finish up with two takes of an ice sculpture set up for photo ops. We'll return to Sparks Street, and particularly when I close out the series, to see some of these ice sculptures in evening conditions, taken later on the same day when I took these.

  21. At least the drumming would keep them warm! It would be fun to hear them while looking at the sculptures.
