RE: Frozen Wonders - My visit to the World Ice Art Championships
Your photos are stunning! I love ice sculptures. We have several winter festivities here in Minnesota, with ice sculptures and ice castles. It’s amazing to me that people can make such elaborate carvings in ice!
I have never seen the aurora borealis. I’m so envious!
Thanks for the comment Jayna. These photos are ok; makes me really wish I had a good dslr at the time. There are smaller ice sculpture displays and competitions here in Anchorage for an annual event called Fur Rondy. Perhaps I'll have to go this year and take some photos. I could get some really good Alaskana content that would make for some interesting posts. Like the sled dog weight pull competition, for example.
The sculptures I saw at this competition in Fairbanks were at a level I had never seen before though. Incredible, and I've yet to see any that rival the skill and detail on display there. I hope the company (Ice Alaska) is able to get back on their feet for 2019.
It really looks incredible. You did well with the equipment you have. I also wish I had an excellent camera. The macro photography I've been seeing lately, in particular, makes me want to make the investment! I'll try to get some good pictures of the ice castles and post them soon.
I'll look forward to those pictures Jayna. I do have nice camera equipment and am quite the photog, I just didnt have it on this trip back in 2007. Left it at home like a dummy.
