There are numerous Ice Festivals around the globe where a person can view incredible sculptures all made from ice. But the Harbin Ice Festival in China stands out. Harbin is located in Manchuria where temperatures can reach -40F.




Musings about Life, the Universe and Reality
There once was a land, no further away than your imagination. A Land where the Trees’ whispers can be heard on the wind. And the squirrels chitter and chatter as they scamper to and fro amongst the branches - playing their endless game of tag.
A Land where the Brooks babble endlessly amid fern covered banks. Fish and Tadpoles play a game of Leapfrog in the clear, cool water and Turtles sunbathe nearby.
A Land where the tall Grasses sway in the breeze as if dancing to a distant tune. Wild flowers wave their petals at the busy Bees who fly by; Beckoning to them. Enticing them.
A Land where the Deer graze peacefully in the lush, green valleys. A Land where the Birds and the Faeries gather in the bushes of an evening to share the day's gossip. And the Frog serenade, with Cricket accompaniment, continues well into the night.
A Land where the morning sun melts the night into the shadows of the day. And at sunset the shadows melt into night. But there are times when the shadows melt into things best left to one’s imagination.
A Land of Melting Shadows.

Those sculptures are amazing. I would love to see them in person!
Aren't they amazing? We have a local ice sculpture contest here each year and even though some are awesome, they are miniatures compared to these!
Now that's a winter wonderland ! How beautiful they all are!
Wow! What a winter wonderland! These are so amazing!
We love ice sculptures up here in Canada too, but the Chinese always do everything big, big, bigger! What fabulous sculptures!

It makes me so incredibly sad that with warmer temperatures, these pieces will fade into the Earth.
But what stunners! I particularly like the first one...
