January 9 - Fire & Ice Festival


The Olympic Flame passed through Regina last night. The photo I have isn't great because it was so dark and the camera adjusted for the reflective stripes on the runner's clothing.

Therefore, I am posting a photo of a snow sculpture I took at the Fire & Ice Carnival which was part of the Olympic Torch Relay festivities.

The snow sculpture is called "Fun in the Snow: Snowball Rolling" by Anna Greenwood and Art 350 at the University of Regina. The sign beside the sculpture said, "With this sculpture, the artists wanted to depict the fun of playing in the snow, taking the childhood activity of building forts and snowmen to a humorous extreme." (The sculpture was sponsored by Alliance Energy.)
