This morning saw us up before dawn and in the new minivan on our way to Rice Park in Downtown St. Paul. We arrived there before the crowds to see the ice sculptures that had been finished the night before. The little light in the trees were still on and the temperature gave us a mercifull windless -15ºC.

Behind me and my mom you can see the ice sail of a viking ship – not much of us is showing…..

Friday’s half an inch of snow did its magic with a thin white coat everywhere.
Ice sculptures like this magnificent Pegasus is just not the same unless surrounded by snow.
