Cripple Creek Ice Festival
Went there Saturday, wasn't easy to get a clean shot due to things like scaffolding and people. So I got low and shot up or did close-ups. Nighttime helps to obscure some background items.

That last one had a fire built behind hit for a Fire and Ice theme.

Here's a daylight shot

Don,

I was thinking about that festival myself. It looks like a pretty cool event. I really like the way the light is coming through the dragon in #2.

The torso portion of the last photo looks like a painting. Very cool series, Don. I remember trying to photograph these with my cell phone one year. :rolleyes:

Very neat. Nice workmanship in those sculptures, too.

Stan, you can still make it, this runs through next Sat/Sun. There may be different sculptures added to the mix by then.

Thanks for sharing these, Don.
Someday I hope to see some ice sculptures.
