I don't know if these have been posted before, but my aunt sent me these cool shots from an ice sculpture competition.

It's amazing how hard some people work, and how talented some people are!

This is some incredible work man..!!!!!! I wonder how much time it will takes to build those things?? :):)

Thats just incredible... how the hell do they DO that?

holy shit never seen any that big before, very nice!

That's some really impressive work. Too bad they will vanish as soon as the temperature raises.

What method do they use to melt the ice?

It's amazing the time and effort these artists put into these things compared to the amount of time they last. Great pics :thumbsup

Those are awesome.
In the town I grew up which has a very large sandy beach, there was a guy there who for years did sand sculptures. He was very talented too.
Great pics, thanks for sharing.

damn that is crazy.
i wish i could see that in person.

Now that first one is huge and well done.

Awesome pics! I love the carriage

I watched a show once on a company that specializes in making things like this for various companies. The one the company was doing at the time was for an auto maker and it was showcasing one of their new cars. This company made a replica of the car in ice.

Basically they were huge blocks of ice and they used various methods to shape it from chain saws to blow torches. After it was done, it looked like packed snow (like the dino pic above). They then used a blowtorch on it to get rid of the snow look and give it the look of glass. It was amazing to watch. I hate cold weather but I would go to see a show like the one shown above anytime
