The large hourglasses again drew my eye when I passed by.
What is typical at Winterlude- an ice surface that can be covered by passersby in small ice blocks with food colouring- this year pink and blue.
Another of the street signs caught my eye.
Here we have the mososaur ice sculpture that I showed you early on in the series. It held up reasonably well after a couple of weeks of exposure to the elements.
A bit less so, but still in one piece, this sculpture done for Doctors Without Borders, which had gone quite opaque by the last weekend of Winterlude.
These flowers had survived too.
I showed you this sculpture during my first go around. This time I stepped inside it.
And I finish today with this. The sculpture had to do with the carvings of faces found inside the Parliament Buildings. It was opaque by the last weekend of the event, but still standing.
The hourglasses are incredible.
ReplyDeleteI liked them.
DeleteVery special sculptures !
ReplyDeleteIndeed.
DeleteDoctors Without Borders is my fav.
ReplyDeleteIt stood out.
DeleteI like the one which you stepped inside - very striking bit of work.
ReplyDeleteFrom inside, the face had quite an alien look.
Delete...the face is spectacular!
ReplyDeleteIt is.
DeleteDay after day the sculptures are amazing.
ReplyDeleteMore to come.
DeleteThe change in opacity is interesting, but it’s good they last as long as they do.
ReplyDeleteIt is
DeleteThe ice sculptures held up quite well really!
ReplyDeleteThey do

ReplyDeleteI agree.
DeleteOh that metal sculpture is fantastic. Thank you for taking the inside photo!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome.
DeleteThe sculpture of the flowers lasted really well. I like that metal sculpture too.
ReplyDeleteMe too.
DeleteSomeday someone will come up with something to make the ice stay clear.
ReplyDeletePutting them in shelters would work wonders. I don't know why the organizers have stopped doing that.
DeleteI find it fascinating to see how wind and weather slowly take hold of those sculptures.
ReplyDeleteI agree.
DeleteWow! ~ Again ~ such beauty in these 'winter works' and a touch of color is lovely ~
