Fleeting Beauty

We went to the 2007 International Ice Sculpture Competition, and I've got a shocking surprise for you. We took some pictures!!!!!



I just want to point out that the human figure in the above picture is life sized. I've put some highlights of the photos we took on flickr, check them out.

What's really amazing is these people but all that effort into making these massively large pieces of art, knowing that in about a month they will melt away and be no more. We actually got there too late to see the most delicate of the pieces which had already shattered and fallen. We'll do better next year and go when its still inhumanly cold so we can take pictures of everything.
