Ice Art Alaska

The park is a magical place. Gigantic structures, made of ice by artists from
all over the world. An international event that I have enjoyed for the last
five years as a spectator. One day I plan experience the other side of the event.

These photos are the best of the ones I took. Ice at night is difficult to capture
on film, but I tried every year. The first year I took two rolls of my steamy breath!
The next year I learned to hold my breath, but still my photos were a
disapointment. I have here the best of this year, but to truely experience the thrill
of seeing these impressive sculpture you should go and see them for yourself.
 
 
 

I prefere the abstract pieces.
 

Some are very literal.
 
 

Lights are placed behind the ice to create a fantastic glow.
 
 

From some angles the Ice looks metalic instead of tranceparent.
 

You may have seen one like this at your friend's wedding, but was it
8 feet tall and 16 feet wide?
 

This was my favorite piece this year.
 

It was a memorial chapel.
 

This is but one of the impressive archways.
 

The roof had openings to view the stars from.
 

The sculptors made walls as smooth as glass, a wall of little windows.
 

This is Nevada wearing her ice parka.
 

This was called "Moon Maden".
 

I hope you enjoyed seeing the photos as much as I did taking them.
