Ok, now that I've figured out how to use TypePad's "Blog It" feature, you might be seeing more of snippets like this (and that nifty subscripty link is pretty cool too!). We'll just conveniently forget I snobbishly used to not consider this kind of linky-link stuff to be true blog entries...haha! Anyhow, here's another entry via The Big Picture:
In frigid northeastern China, in the city of Harbin is hosting its 26th annual International Ice and Snow Sculpture Festival. Massive buildings built of ice from the frozen surface of the nearby Songhua River, large scale snow sculptures, ice slides, festival food and drinks can be found in several parks in the city. At night, visitors who endure the bitter cold will see the lights switched on, illuminating the sculptures from both inside and outside. This year's festival opened yesterday, January 5th, and will remain open until some time in February. Collected here are several photos from just before the festival, and of the opening night.

Again, so many amazing photos but I chose this one since the people really gives a good scope of the size of these ice sculptures and again it is reminds me of our own trip to China.
Looking at this photo makes you question if indeed this is real, but yes it is REAL! Amazing,superb just simple genius work.
