Looks like the Ice Castle will be ready on time for the Winter Carnival in St Paul and the Super Bowl in Minneapolis! The construction site in St Paul's downtown Rice Park was a busy hive of activity Sunday morning when I visited, intent on getting some pictures. Barriers and fences surrounding the equipment, workers, and blocks of ice made photographing a little difficult, but I enjoyed watching the work-in-progress.
Wow, that is a huge wall of ice! I'm impressed.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen the ice castle, but I've heard about it. What a wonderful construction. After being gone from Minnesota for so many years, it's hard to imagine a place where it's cold enough to build such a castle! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's a lot of work going into that. Teams here are getting things set up for Winterlude in February.
ReplyDeletehow exciting to watch its progress!
ReplyDeleteYou definitely have the brutal cold weather to build an ice castle. It will look fantastic when it's done. Fairbanks used to have the ice carving world championships every winter. It was always a nice event to go and see.
ReplyDeleteIt will be beautiful when finished!
ReplyDeleteThat's going to be great.
ReplyDeleteThis is serious business, I see.
ReplyDeleteOh that will be beautiful I suppose whwn it is finished.
