Went to this last week. Kind of late this year and they we're starting to melt but still nice to look at.

 

[HeXp£Øi±]

My daughter insisted on being in as many of the pictures as possible.

This was a slide one of the Russian sculpters made for the kids.

The pictures just don't do it justice.

Another slide...this thing was massive, maybe forty feet long and fifteen feet high.

 

[HeXp£Øi±]

This was a 9/11/vfw memorial among other things.

This one was awesome. Again...the picture just doesn't cut it.

Incredible!...If I could hack the cold I'd want to be there. thanks for posting them.

Awesome sculptures, must be tricky on ice, i think the globe fish was very very difficult to make.

 

[Ardsgaine]

Neat pics!

Supposedly, we have some blackfoot on my dad's side. It's my mom's side, though, where the Indian blood really shows. I'm not sure what tribe. Probably Cherokee or Creek.

 

[Justintime]

ohhh, they're indians!

Love the pictures. I know they do some ice sculpting over here but I haven't had the oppotunity to see it for real.
