Ely Winter Festival

On Saturday February 5, 2011 we went to the little town of Ely, MN for the annual Winter Festival. The downtown park is filled with snow sculptures done by a variety of people from around the mid-west. We arrived a little early, some of the sculptures were still being worked on.

You can click on the collage to enlarge it & view a little larger.

It was amazing how detailed some of the sculptures were,

but what else do you do when winters are at least 6 months long. :)

Plus, a random shot of a "snow bike sled".
