Ice carving competition at Rice Park, St. Paul, Minnesota.
Cold and windy evening for photography. cold on the hands (-4 F, -19 C). Even colder on the camera battery. I kept a spare battery in my pocket for when the battery in the camera froze; I exchanged batteries and keep shooting. Quite difficult manipulating the tripod to frame up a shot and firing a photo with the remote shutter release cable with frozen fingers.
Spotlight illuminating each ice sculpture brought out the details the sculptor created.

really love all these ice sculptures. and then your photos are superb
another good one , but who won the competition ?
simply amazing!!! excellent work
A lot of suffereing... but the result was worth it!
I like the transparency, it's beautiful!
I always wanted to know how to blow bubbles, that's where the school is then...
Thanks for having endured the cold, the result is stunning!
Taking these shots at night really make the sculptures stand out (and your mad skillz of course)!
Yours turned out better than mine. We are bored, arent we? I am desperate for new pics, any ideas where one could go in this frozen state? sigh...
The details are brilliant. Thanks for braving the elements to bring us this!
Just would't know where to start. Cool image
All that trouble was worth this shot. Wow! Interesting graphic quality to the photo.
(Will you be following Kate's footsteps and going to warm up down South?)
What an art! Not just of the creator, but the photographer — you too.
I like your header tag line. Sadly, not possible for me.
Notwithstanding the cold you did an excellent job there!!
This is a beautiful sculpture, perhaps more so because it can not last though I'm sorry you had to endure such cold to capture it. (I'm glad you did though)
The things we do to get our pictures... It was worth it though, great image!
