What a fantastic shot! I couldn't for the life of me figure out what kind of craftsman let their tools get snowed upon like that. Ice sculpting makes sense....

I didn't expect electric tools. Covered with snow also caught me by surprise. Thanks for the intro course to ice sculpting!

Does someone in your family do it or did you go to see the ice carving? Nice image.

I guess ice isn't as conductive as water, at least I hope so...

Wonder if they used tools like this on the snow sculptures I saw this weekend? I love how you captured them with snow still on them.
