harbin ice/snow sculpture festival

think that snowman you made last week was impressive? the harbin ice/snow sculpture festival has a little something to show you.

started in 1984, the festival features massive snow sculptures, ice slides…illuminated at night by internal lights. the result is a colorfully surreal scene in the middle of winter—words cannot describe:

hello mr. colosseum; you look awfully green today.

ice slide, elaborate method of ejecting offenders from the castle, or both?
