Ice Sculpture

I was first enthralled by ice sculptures when I saw R Todd King's website. Those photographs from Harbin was spectacular and unbelievable! I cannot image a whole city made of ice and snow. Wow...some folks do have the skill, talent and innovation. These sculptures can rival "real" life buildings indeed. And to think that the sculptures will melt away in the summer is such a great waste. So much hard work and effort involved. But then again, for these sculptors, it meant that next winter will be another challenge and excitement, I guess.

I must admit that I am not anywhere near to having any artistic fibre in me but thinking about the sheer beauty and hard work in making these sculptures just bowls me over. There are really so awesome and beautiful to look at. Especially on a hot sunny afternoon and I can just look at Harbin and these wonderful icy sculptures and imagine myself in a Winter Wonderland...so magical, beautiful and so COOL.
