More winter fun! We went on Quebec side last week-end (and it was snowing, and it was about –20C…) to see the Winterlude snow sculptures. At least, we weren’t disappointed.
Snow Sculptures And Winter Fun

Slides!
In Ontario, we have relatively small ice sculptures, but in Quebec, they were made of snow… and huge! Granted we had quite a lot of snow this year so building material was cheap.
Oh, and in case you asked… yes, I tried the ice slide and trust me, it’s faster than it looks!

These are amazing. I really love the top right the best.
Great photos and amazing sculptures. Where was the one that you built? eh?
Graham’s last blog post..What I am listening to at the moment.…
The four of us went to Ottawa and saw those snow sculptures. They were great, as usual — my favourite was the big skate — but I was disappointed because they only had a few! One for each province, I believe, at Jacques Cartier Park. When I lived in Ottawa, there used to be around a hundred, all done by different community organizations and groups of employees. They used to cover Dow’s Lake with them, and you could skate around and look at them all. I wonder why they stopped doing that?
Oh well, I should just enjoy the fact that there are any at all, I suppose. All the comments from your jealous readers are reminding me of that!
Yes, they don’t have them at Dow’s Lake anymore… although there are quite a few sculptures in Confederation Park.
