Ice Sculptures

 Downtown Novosibirsk has a Winter Festival - we have been transferred to Irkutsk so we will miss it.  But they began the ice sculptures for it and we watched some and took some pictures.
 They put lights into them when they are finished - notice the big community Christmas tree.
 Man with a chain saw doing the sculpturing of the ice.
 Big blocks of ice on the truck - it was interesting to watch...maybe Irkutsk has a winter festival as well.

Some of the ice blocks are transported in these big wooden crates!
