Ice Alaska 2010 -- Part I

Here are a couple pictures of some single block sculptures. Multi-block wasn't finished yet but we had the chance to photograph some of the work in process.

Thank you to my trusty and creative assistant (smiles and hugs here), Ti, for showing me that the work in progress can be more fascinating than the finished project! Whoudda thunk.

Ice Octo

Yep, it's that time of year again!  When ice carvers from around the world travel to Fairbanks, Alaska to showcase their talent at the World Ice Art Championship.  And what talent there is!
