The Snow Gallery

This is how the snow festival sculptures are made. Insanity! There are SO many people working to create the enormous pieces of artwork, it was incredible. The first day we arrived in Sapporo we checked out the creations and then two days later went back to see the progress. It was unbelievable. This scultpure is of a female Japanese golfer, Ai something-or-other, who is from Okinawa hence the palm trees and the tropical flowers. Imagine it, a huge block of snow carved to look like you. Forget the Wheaties box, people, just give me a huge snow sculpture.



This one... any ideas?

It's the Chronicles of Narnia. You can see the White Witch being pulled by the polar bears and in the background at the top is Azlan. (You can only see his head on the very far right corner of the pic) This one rocked my world- I was a big fan. There were also plenty of other sculptures- some of Japanese anime and others of the Melbourne Train Station. So, there was obvoiusly some variety to this snow show.
