The Vikings are coming

On the way home tonight I stopped by this snow sculpture. This past weekend was the Deep Freeze Winter Festival. Today was very warm for January, it was 8 C, so the sculpture started to melt

[Cathie]

How cool (er...cold!), Brian. I've never lived in a really cold climate, and not sure how well I would do, but this looks like great fun!

[Sandi]

You can still see him! What a great capture!

[Candace]

They do really awesome sculpting with ice and snow!

[Tony]

Terrific capture and fabulous sculpture.

[Elizabeth]

Wow! Nice capture.This is quite a contrast to the sand sculptures I saw on the beach today.

[Raye]

Awesome capture!

[Darlene]

Wonderful capture, Brian. We are in need of rain here and snow in the mountains. It was 70F here today and staying the same for the coming week. Would be happy to take some snow or rain at this point. Water cutbacks are happening.

[Carole Imes]

Cool snow art, Brian!

[Kerri]

Cool shot

[Sian B]

Oh I hate that such lovely works of art have to lost to the elements...but that is part of the wonder of it!! Still looks pretty good here.

[Pyrrhula]

Beautiful snow sculpture nicely captured . So sorry for the melting

[Claire]

[Hubregt Visser]

Great sculpture.

[Karin Hirsch]

Always amazes me what some people can create out of snow and ice the only thing I can produce is a snowball

[Stephanie Swift]

Poor old viking--glad you captured him before he disappeared.

[Katie]

Poor, melted Viking! Needs to move even farther north, I guess.

[Disha Parekh]

What a cool find. Great shot :)

[Danette Thompson]

Canadians certainly make the most of the cold weather. That must have been fun.

[Néfertiti]

Too bad about the melting --I bet this ice sculpture was wonderfully detailed! Super shot, bkb!
