RE: Frozen Wonders - My visit to the World Ice Art Championships

in #blog8 years ago

Hi Aksounder. Yes I know of this event but have never been although I know several of my friends have. I heard the ice is amazing and harvested locally from the freshest of water. It is supposed to be very cold alright and this can make the ice very hard and brittle. So i am very impressed with the lion and mice.
Photos of ice sculpture are always very difficult but you got so great ones.
Looks like you had an amazing time and it's great to see ice sculpture from other people's perspective.
Thanks for the mention.

I figured you would have at least heard of it. It was the most impressive ice work I had ever seen. The delacate detail was mind boggling. After attending that competition, anything I've seen at smaller shows in Anchorage have been a little bit of a let down. Hopefully that's not the case with this year's Fur Rondy festival. I'll be sure to photograph those sculptors and make a steemit post about them.

Thank you for the kind compliments on the photos. Glad an actual ice sculpter thinks I captured these pieces well.
