Snow Sculptures from the Silver Skate Festival
I better post this before the day is over. As I mentioned in yesterday’s comments, the witch that I took a photo of is Baba Yaga from Russian and Slavic folklore. She lived in a house with chicken legs. Here are some more of the snow sculptures from the silver skate festival – I felt sad for one artist whose sculpture collapsed. The weather was always changing which did not help for the snow to pack .
I made them dark deliberately so you can see the details. These were grouped together and there were others around the park. Except for one I was remiss not to get the artist names or the titles, something to remember in the future. And I erased the ones of the column that were in focus – well that was smart of me.
What are your favourites?

What an amazing talent these artists have! So much variety too, makes you wonder why they make ‘that’ sculpture. Nice photos Jane!

That is a good question about the choice. i liked the column and the sculptor sculpting himself out of the rock (or in this case, snow) takes after Michaelangelo and another master.

What a lovely series of photos! My favorites were the polar bears and the cowboy, but all of them were a lot of fun. Events like this make it worthwhile to go outside and get cold. 🙂

Agree and with this event it wasn’t even cold except for the wind on the last day.

LOL Now why does that not surprise me, Mia!

Next time I will be more thoughtful and record who the artists are.
