For being the land of ice and snow, we have very few ice sculptures. As far as I know we have a garden center that has ice sculptures each Christmas. The come up with theme and then find businesses that are willing to do a sculpture related to the theme.
This year for us the theme was very simple...Canada winter games. I'm disappointed that only half the display was actual sculpturing.
Now I got out too late to see these sculptures as we've had some days above freezing so some of the finishing and details are not clear anymore.
But for what they are worth, here they are.
Now the last two photos are for Linda at Linda's Letters. She often shows magnificent plant nurseries. Here's one of our local nurseries. It gets sad in the winter.
One of our major garden centers has a many ice carvings for the Christmas Season. this year's theme was star Wars! Not very Christmasy, but they didn't ask me for any advice. Businesses Put up ice sculptures to go along with the theme.
Now we went to the Mormon church display of 300 creches. These creches come from members of the church. My camera batteries went dead after 2 photos so I was very popular. I did manage one photo with the micro Manager looking at some interesting displays
Now for the Star Wars stuff. Most sculptures have the name of the character.
You can tell which is my favorite. I can tell that I should have taken photos showing more detail. I'll know better next time.
