In your recent journal I have to say that I am at awe with those statues made from snow and ice. I didn't know that something like this went on!! Those pictures of that village is just amazing! I must ask what was written in the green letters at the front of that amazing display? Very impressive work by those guys!!
Snow sculptures!!

INCREDIBLE.
Never seen snow sculptures like that. Seen some ice carvings very detailed in past, but nothing like that in snow.
Slim, thanks for posting this. I don't check in on journals like I used to. I could have missed it or not seen for several weeks.

I cannot remember what was written in the snow. All the writings describe the statues, but sometimes in a cryptic and almost poetic way.
