London Ice Sculpting Festival

What I learned from the Ice Sculpting Festival:

a) it's pretty difficult to take decent photos of ice sculptures
b) apparently if you give ice sculptors the theme 'wonders of the universe', a fair few of them will go 'hmmm, I know, semi-naked woman'
c) it gets REALLY FRICKING COLD out at Canary Wharf
d) Balkan street food (specifically cepavi) is lush

We went on the day of the doubles competition, so sadly I don't have any pictures from the rest of the weekend. (countries that entered these pieces under the pics)

Hungary

Belgium

Bulgaria

Latvia

apparently failed to note this one so who knows?


Netherlands (I don't understand this one)

Spain (with model in the front!)


Another one I failed to note, but here's a picture of the judges looking at it


UK (this one won the competition)

USA

The website of the festival is here: http://www.londonicesculptingfestival.co.uk

There is a gallery at the site but it's not comprehensive enough for me to work out those two sculptures. I'll do a bit of searching tomorrow.
