Quick Freeze

Spending a week in the Swiss Alps at Wengen, I experimented with water and ice sculpture. The environment was very helpful as the outside temperature on my balcony was below zero all the time. This meant I was able to freeze and fuse water in various shapes very quickly. In the small pictures on the right you can see ice shapes formed in bottles, plastic bags and other sundry containers. The way the ice crystals start forming is amazing to watch. On the left are two slightly more beautiful efforts constructed by fusing ice pieces that I had set in various pots, lids and caps.

Monolith

Spent several hours making this monolith with the help of my brother Chris, niece Rebecca and nephew James over the snowy weekend. Finishing height achieved is about 12-13ft.
