RE: Frozen Wonders - My visit to the World Ice Art Championships
This is a beautiful set of photos, and the backstory of your trip makes it a fun read. I've never actually been to an ice sculpture...show? contest? It's always a wonder that so much time and effort would be spent on something so beautiful and yet so transient.

How perfectly said my friend. Thank you for the compliments. I also found my photos from a trip to Washington DC years ago, where I did have a quality camera. Perhaps I'll make a post to share some of those. Making this post also inspired me to attend some events of the Fur Rondy this year, something I haven't done in a long time. After living here for a while, that annual winter festival just seems like a tourist attraction. Really though, it's one of those unique things that locals find it easy to take for granted.
