Canandaigua Fire and Ice




Canandaigua held their Fire and Ice Festival the other day in town and the weather was just dreadful.  We didn't go to it because it was really cold and damp...not the best weather to enjoy a festival!  We did stop last night on the way home from dinner to take a few pictures of the ice sculptures that were still there.

I say "still there" because...local vandals toppled several of the beautiful sculptures.   It is just awful that some people just do not respect other's artwork and feel a need to ruin it for everyone else.



So, even though there are quite a few photos here...at least you can get an idea of how beautiful the sculptures were.  I wish we had been able to see all of them.



Shame on those who ruined the rest of them!










Years ago, on a cruise ship, we watched a man take a regular block of ice and turn it into one of these magnificent sculptures!  Truly something to see if you ever get the chance!!

Wow, those are amazing. I watched a movie one time where they had an ice sculpture competition. Of course they were just acting and the actual work was done by someone else but it was still fascinating

Wow, some amazing sculptures. The only thing mom can carve from a block of ice is an ice cube.

Very cool! No pun intended! When our mommy and daddy went on an Alaskan cruise the crew pulled in a piece of iceburg from Hubbard Glacier and sculpted it. It was cool too! :)

Those are beautiful. It is a crying shame that people have no respect for other's hard work and art. Karma has some work to do. ☺
