Ottawa has a month-long winter festival in February called “Winterlude”. This weekend featured an ice-sculpture contest. We took pictures.

Even the sign was made of ice.

Some of the sculptures were very intricate.

Shen and a giant snowflake.

This one was impressive not least because of the tenuous wrist holding the big heavy sword.

Shen on the hanger deck.

Sadly, his arm was a casualty of global warming.

This one was our favorite.

John Cabot arrived and promptly froze.
