Creative Wonders Of Ice

 As I mentioned before the end of the month, I returned to Sparks Street to take in some ice sculptures in the early evening, under coloured lights. That'll wait until we round out this series. I returned to Sparks Street on the last Sunday afternoon of Winterlude to see what was going on. Some of the sculptures I showed you the first time out were gone, others were opaque. But others had been freshly carved, including this.

This one was still standing- we'll get a look at it under coloured lights in a few days.

And this one was still standing, rendered a bit opaque. I find that sculptures with a vertical nature, like this, which is essentially a wall, fare better than those of a horizontal nature, where much of the sculpture is spread out.

This was a new one.

As was this.

A costumed bear was up the street, accompanied by a woman in clothes that hearkened back to older times. I liked the interaction with children- who knew he wasn't really a bear, but were fascinated anyway.

Another large sculpture was being worked on.
