I may have mentioned that we have a lot of Festivals here in Edmonton. Well, they continue over the winter too - they have to, otherwise we would go crazy ;) One that I enjoy is the
Ice On Whyte Festival. This year it was very international, with carvers from our sister city, Harbin, China. Other entries were from Russia, Armenia, The Netherlands, Alaska and of course Canada.
'Carousel'
'Who will be the first to see the Sun'
'Surprise'
This was the dragon slide.
There were many snow carvings and more ice carvings, they had several kiddie slides and an ice maze for the youngsters. There was also hot chocolate and live music. I have uploaded more photos to my
flickr account.
Have a great day all.

I've always found ice sculptures to be beautiful.
Marvelous ice Sculptures. Surprise was my favorite you featured.
Thanks Travis. There were so many, I just wish I hadn't forgotten my mono-pod.
David, thanks. That was one of my favourites too ;)
Those are amazing!
Wow, Reb. These are really beautiful.
Terrie
Those would be worth frostbitten toes to see in person.
Thank you.
Gorgeous, sis! (and much easier for these old eyes to see than on your camera display!)
What a great way to spend a winter evening. If you can't be in a warm, cozy place, you might as well be enjoying some wonderful ice sculptures. They're so colourful with the lighting.
Thanks Jay, I agree.
Terrie, they sure are.
Messymimi, it was actually quite warm - for here :)
Sis, me too!
Hilary, they are very nice and it was really quite warm.
Simply amazing.. I have never seen a ice sculpture in real, hope i'll get to see it once in my lifetime.
A.K., they truly are amazing. There is so much detail that the camera (well mine) doesn't pick up.
They're so interestingly lit, and you seem to have made the most of that; it must have been hard to shoot them at night.

Thanks Mary Ann. Yes, I wish I had brought my mono-pod at least ;)
Really lovely. Makes me wish I lived somewhere colder!
Ha, only until you do Dawn ;) It's like extreme heat, nice to visit, but nice to go home too ;) I'm glad you liked them.
I'd love to see such work up close. Nice shots, Reb.
Frank, it would be worth a trip just for that ;)
Oh, WOW!!
I just found out that my sister is headed to an ice sculpture event this weekend. I hope she shares pictures with me.
Thanks Karen, it is worth going to see one.
