It's amazing what you can carve out of a cube of snow if you know what you're doing...

"The Queen of Nature," Estonia.

The Canadians at work.

Smoothing the many curves of what will become "The Third Space."

Team Canada's "Polar Bear Hug," winner of the artists' choice award.
K-1 with DA* 55 @ f/5.6, 1/4 s, ISO 400

Lovely series. Cubes are now appearing in our city in anticipation of our Francophone annual event called Festival du Voyageur (Festival - Festival du Voyageur). The snow carving will begin soon so they are ready for Festival.
