Winter carnival, it gets better

Here is just a random castle with some flying dragon wrapped around it. In the center is a wizard holding a crystal (ice) ball. It was also very detailed. It won 2nd place.

As you could see previously the ice sculpture were really cool. Now it gets better. This was by far the tallest and most extravegant sculpture I have ever seen I could not get it all in one or even two pictures. the pictures once again do not do it justice so whatever you are thinking multiply that by 100. Here you see the top of the sculpture. It is a castle sitting on the tops of trees. the whole thing was done 360 degrees, so what you see in the front it continues with a variation of that all the way around. this is only half of it and it stood probably 50 feet high.

Here you see the trees that are holding up the castle. There are several of those all the way around each with a distinct individual face.

Behind the trees were rock (ice) walls and doors with heads in the doors. Absolutly amazing. This won first place but not the grand prize.

Stay tuned in the next few day for the Grand Prize.
