ice Carving 2009

 the Caribou , and the wolves below were the winners
 the wolves were just pounding to attack, the detail in the carving was  cool, like you could feel yourself watching the hunt....
  Greek mythology, i think is great( surprise)  and Pegasus  is an amazing creature. even in ice.
 Now i am not really an abstract person, i am much more of a  realistic person, but  this is  different and caught my  eye
 and the tortoise  has a baby on her backl

he  ice carving this year was really good. but   i want you to look closely at photo at the bottom, of the thermometer . to see the temp this morning( Sunday) 10 am and it was cold, and their was a wind as well

 then just for your interest  they show you the power of the sun and an ice lens, this piece of wood smelt like it was burning, it stunk. ( i know but it stunk) like horrible burn smell.
 i was cold even with long johns on. its march its supposed to be warm.
 yes I have some patches of frost bite on my checks to prove it was well.
