Very beautiful photos and this ice looks very cold.
Oh My gosh! My breath was taken away when I saw these beautiful pictures! To think the time and effort that went into these beautiful works of art. What a wonderful event!
Wishing you a warm nose and toasty toes.
This is so beautiful. In Mountaintop, PA there was a restaurant that invited ice carvers. I have great pictures when my kids where little.
Those ice carvings are amazing. Sounds like it will be a fun family event.
Wow these are so beautiful! It's amazing what artist can make with ice!
Nunu, the ice carving were very beautiful.
Mandy, it was fun taking the kids out to see these. They were so excited to see everything.
Melissa, it was a great family event. Lots of fun although it was really chilly.
Betty & John, aren't these amazing ice sculptures? I'm not even finished uploading all the pictures yet.
Vanna, Those sculptures are fantastic (and you just gave me another idea for a post -- although in Mexico it is sand, not ice). I also have a question. What is "arctic diamond ice"?
