Harbin Snow Sculptures






















































After the polar swim, we were on to the snow sculptures. It takes 2 - 3 hours to walk through all of them and really take it in. Thankfully we were blessed with a beautiful sunny day. That said, we were still in many layers of long underwear, ski pants, turtlenecks, fleece shirts, the warmest coat we own, 2 pairs of socks, a hat, ear muffs and/or a scarf or mask over our face, and at least one layer of gloves. When bundled properly, it was a comfortable day.














































The pirate was one of Rob's favorites. Notice the parrot pulling on his earring.













The artwork was breathtaking, and some of the detail looked like quite an engineering feat.
