Ice

This series of ice detail closeups were photographed a couple of weeks after the ice sculptures were carved during Barrie's winter festival last February. The melting ice revealed a smooth, fluid surface and a transparent solidity, reflecting the sky and the surrounding colours of winter. What intrigued me the most was where the blocks of ice were joined on their corrugated surfaces. The only part of the ice that wasn't crystal clear. I was hypnotized. The sculptures were beautiful works of art but inside these huge warped crystal balls, was another world to perceive and behold while my imagination ran rampant.
