Ice on Whyte

I'm very excited to finally be done with editing my photos from the Ice on Whyte Festival in Edmonton.  This was the first ice and snow sculpture festival I've ever attended.  I went with my photo meet up group a couple of weeks ago.  Edmonton is known for their festivals in the summer and winter is no exception.  They get over a dozen ice sculptors from all over the world to carve huge blocks of ice into beautiful sculptures.  They even had a slide that kids could slide down made of ice.  Unfortunately we had some warmer temps (above freezing during the week so there was some meltage as well as breakage).  Some sculptures did lose limbs as well as some detail.  Nevertheless, I hope you enjoy these as much as I did.  It was five bucks well spent.
