Ice on Whyte Festival
This past Sunday we visited an interesting event: Ice on Whyte.
Edmonton is big enough city, to attract all kind of artists to entertain its citizens.
I know I'm complaining about the cold a lot, but these guys are loving it.
I'll show you some of their work. Or maybe the proper word is art.
You can't see from the photos, but these sculptures are between two and three meters high. And the 3D aspect you can't project with the camera. You can only imagine how it looks like. If you enlarge these photos it'll help a bit.
The more detailed information about this exhibition you can find in @k4r1nn's posts. I highly recommend to check them out. It's a big difference between day and night photos. It's well worth it.
The colors are not so bright because we were there during the day which is not the optimal, but it's a bit better than in the evening. Sometimes minus 15 is warmer than minus 25.
Enjoy the rest of them.
It was so beautiful we even forget about the cold for a few minutes. I'm sure you like them too.
Stay warm, my friends.
Wooowww its so beautiful,, very good... I like it..

That was a million dollar skills, a talent I dont know but am sure that was a very detailed skill of hands. Fantastic!
awesome dear
beautiful and creative kind of art!! i don't know how long it can stay ?
wow..Sculptures charming . Very nice post.. Thank you for sharing with us @oldtimer
Ice sculptures are an absolutely beautiful art form. The way the light reflect off and through them enhance the beauty that the artist has already created. What blows me away is the precision with which these sculptures are created and othen with primitive tools such as chainsaws.
Here isn Ottawa we have a Winterlude festival every year and one of the biggest attraction is the ice sculptures. During the first weekend of the event there is a sculpture carving competition where artist from all around come to compete. The artist have a set time to complete their masterpieces. The sculptures then stay up for the next two weeks of the festival for tourist and visitors to admire. The best part often is the stories that accompany the artwork.
As an avid fisherman this is one of my favourites.
Great Find @oldtimer
cool! No pun intended.
Amazing the photography,,really I like it @oldtimer
Art is a life that is filled with nutrients for the body and the heart.
Thanks
Ice just has something ethereal! It's so amazing doing art and sculptures out of it and even let the light play with it :)
We have some sand sculpures in the city I live! :) They also look so amazing :) I love the idea of making sculptures out of special materials such as ice, sand or snow :)
Thank you very much for sharing the beautiful photos! I'll check out @k4r1nn's posts now :)
Have a great day :)
