RE: Frozen Wonders - My visit to the World Ice Art Championships
Wau amazing ice sculptures!
Btw I was also nominated by @ocd in the same daily issue and with ice sculptures as well:) My post is about an ice temple in Slovakia.
I have to admit though that people from Alaska are leaders in ice sculpting:)
I saw your post featured on the same day. Congrats, and nice ice photos. There are good sculpters here in Alaska, but many of the artists at the competiton are from around the world. They're just as talented, since I don't always see such impressive work at smaller, local shows. I'll be attending one soon and will be making a post about it.
At Chena Hot Springs, the place we stayed, they actually have an ice hotel. I didn't get any photos, but the entire structure is built of ice. If you pay the big bucks to rent a room in it, the bed is a sculpted slab of ice adorned with animal furs. The bar is ice and they serve drinks in ice glasses. It was pretty neat, and if I ever went back it would certainly be a post of its own.
Looking forward to your next post about this.
Never been to an ice hotel (I'd probably suffer too much since I prefer when it's warm). However, I have been to an ice bar before - there's one in Barcelona. The concept is the same, made of ice and ice glasses. If I find the old pics, might write a post about it, too. It was great fun:)
