Sculptures

More perspectives of the ice sculpture I left off with yesterday. The bison dominates the work.


This view is from the side, taking in other works further along.


The next work marks the 25th anniversary of the creation of Nunavut. In 1999, the federal government partitioned the Northwest Territories, leaving the western section with that name, and giving the eastern section the name of Nunavut. The ice sculpture itself is a remarkably vivid one. Wait until you see it at night.

  3. They are probably thankful that the weather has been a little bit colder than it was.

  6. It is hard to see the shapes with the buildings behind them. Too bad there couldn't be a better backdrops since they are so beautiful.

    1. I agree. One of the reasons I don't like this site for them being displayed.

  8. They are indeed beautiful. It's a shame they don't have a plain background behind them, but that building with all it's window lines!

  9. This reminds of a friend of mine who loves to remind folks that there's a difference between buffalo and bison. They are two different species, he insists. He's correct, of course. But . . . 8-)

  12. By being very colorful at night, people can see how extremely talented the sculptor is. But the details in the daytime photos are less visible.
